*Title of Proposal:*                     Mortgage Credit Analysis Worksheet for Native American Loan Guarantee Program and Transmittal for Loan Guarantee Fee.                  

*OMB Control Number:*                     2577-0200.                  

*Description of the need for the information and proposed use:*                     The information is required by section 184 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1994, as amended by section 701 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 and implementing regulations at 24 CFR section 1005. HUD has the authority to guarantee loans for the construction, acquisition, rehabilitation or refinance of 1- to 4-family homes to be owned by Native Americans in restricted Indian lands or service areas. Mortgage lenders approved by HUD provide borrower and lender information to HUD for guarantee of the loan. If the information were not provided on Forms HUD-53036 and HUD-53038, HUD would be unable to guarantee loans and as a result lenders would be unable to provide financing to Native Americans.

*Status of the proposed information collection:*                     Revision of currently approved collection.                  

*Authority:*                     Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
