Title of Proposal: Contractor’s

Requisition Project Mortgages—HUD–

92448.

OMB Control Number: 2502–0028.

Description of the need for

information and proposed use: Section

207(b) of the National Housing Act

(Public Law 479, 48 Stat. 1246, 12

U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), applicable portions

of which are attached for reference,

authorizes the Secretary of the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development (HUD) to insure mortgages

(including advances on such mortgages

during construction) for construction of

rental housing projects. Section 212 of

the National Housing Act, applicable

portions of which are attached for

reference, prevents the Secretary of

HUD from insuring a project unless the

principal contractor files a prevailing

wage certificate. Paragraph (4) of 24 CFR

207.19(d) sets forth requirements for

insurance of advances and certification

of compliance with labor standards and

prevailing wage requirements. Form

HUD–92448 is used by the contractor to

obtain program benefits, consisting of

distribution of insured mortgage

proceeds when construction costs are

involved. The information regarding

completed work items is used by the

Field Office (FO) to ensure that

payments from mortgage proceeds are

made for work actually completed in a

satisfactory manner. The work must be

inspected and approved by a FO

inspector. The certification regarding

prevailing wages is used by the FO to

ensure compliance with prevailing wage

rates.

Agency form numbers: HUD–92448.

Members of affected public: General

Contractors.

An estimation of the total numbers of

hours needed to prepare the information

collection is 6000 hours, the number of

respondents is 1000, frequency of

response is 10, and the hours of

response is 6 hours.

Status of the proposed information

collection: Reinstatement, without

change.

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35,

as amended.

Dated: April 26, 1996.
