Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35, as amended).

The Notice is soliciting comments

Discrimination of Information

Collection

Each party seeking designation as a

foreclosure commissioner must submit

the current information in writing

(facsimiles are not acceptable), as listed

below, to HUD’s Field Assistant General

Counsel serving the geographic area

(there are ten such areas) in which the

party proposes to serve as

commissioner.

1. Name.

2. Business Address.

3. Geographic area in which the

applicant wishes to conduct

foreclosures. (List only States or areas in

States in which the applicant is a

resident or is duly authorized to transact

business.)

4. If the applicant is not a natural

person, the names and business

addresses of the people who would

actually perform the commissioner’s

duties.

5. Description of the applicant’s

experience in conducting mortgage

foreclosures or in related activities
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 244 / Wednesday, December 20, 1995 / Notices 65663

which would qualify the applicant to

serve as a foreclosure commissioner.

6. Evidence of the applicant’s

financial responsibility.

Note: Any party that has been designated

as a foreclosure commissioner for HUD-held

multifamily mortgages may submit a letter to

the appropriate Field Assistant General

Counsel and request designation as a single

family foreclosure commissioner. This letter

of interest would be acceptable in lieu of the

preceding information, unless any

information requires updating.

Additional Information

Title of Proposal: Notice of

Application for Designation as Single

Family Foreclosure Commissioner.

OMB Control Number, if applicable:

Not applicable.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: Under

the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure

Act of 1994 (12 USC 3751 et seq.), the

‘‘Act,’’ HUD will be able to foreclose on

HUD-held single family mortgage loans

in about two months instead of the

much longer periods—ranging up to two

years—currently required under some

State laws. The current long periods

lead to increased holding costs and

vandalism on the mortgaged properties.

HUD holds thousands of loans that are

eligible for foreclosure. The requested

information is needed for HUD’s

selection of foreclosure commissioners

who will satisfy the statutory

requirements (Section 3754(c) of the

Act) to be ‘‘responsible, financially

sound, and competent to conduct a

foreclosure.’’

Agency form numbers, if applicable:

None.

Members of affected public: Persons

and other entities that want to apply to

serve as foreclosure commissioners for

the Department of Housing and Urban

Development.

Estimation of the total numbers of

hours needed to prepare the information

collection, including number of

respondents, frequency of response, and

hours of response:

Respondents: Approximately 250 in

the first year and 50 each year

thereafter.

Frequency of Submission: Once for

each of HUD’s ten geographic areas of

the country. Probably very few

respondents will apply to more than one

HUD geographic area.

Reporting burden First

Each

following

year

Number of respondents .... 250 50

Total burden hours (@ 0.5

hour per response) ....... 125 25

Total estimated burden hours: 175 (first

Status of the proposed information

collection: This is a new collection.
