SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is submitting the proposed

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended).
    This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information to: 
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond; including the 
use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of 
responses.
    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Compromise/Settlement Offer, Personal Financial 
Statement, Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD), Repayment Agreement, and 
Compromise Offer/Partial Approval Worksheet.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0483.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD 
uses the information to analyze debtors' financial positions and then 
approve settlements, repayment agreements, and pre-authorized 
electronic payments to HUD.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-56141, HUD-56142, HUD-
56146, HUD-55509, and HUD-92090.

    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: The estimated total number of hours 
needed to prepare the information collection is 847, the number of 
respondents is 800 generating approximately 1,640 annual responses, the 
frequency of response is on occasion, and the estimated time needed to 
prepare the response varies from 5 to 30 minutes.
    Status of the proposed information collection: This is a revision 
of a currently approved collection. This revision seeks to consolidate 
the currently approved information collection requirements of 2502-0424 
(Pre-Authorization Debit (PAD) Request) and 2502-0098 (Borrower's 
Personal Financial Statement for Compromise/Settlement), because all 
the information collected is related to borrowers who owe money to HUD 
and HUD's attempts to collect that money.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: October 28, 2005.
Frank L. Davis,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing-Deputy Federal Housing 
Commissioner.
