The Housing and Urban Rural Recovery Act (HURRA), Pub. L. 98-181, amended the National Housing Act to add Section 247 to permit FHA to insure mortgages for properties located on Hawaiian Homelands. Under this program, the mortgagor must be a Native Hawaiian. Section 247 requires that that the Department of Hawaiian Homelands (DHHL) of the State of Hawaii (a) Will be a co-mortgagor; (b) guarantees or reimburses the Secretary for any mortgage insurance claims paid in connection with a property on Hawaiian homelands; or (c) offers other security acceptable to the Secretary. The collection of information and the regulatory origins for them are in accordance with Section 203.43i which states that the lender will: (a) Verify that the loan applicant is a native Hawaiian and that the applicant holds a lease on land in a Hawaiian Homelands area; (b) report on delinquent borrowers in                           ( print page 58975)                        accordance with Section 203.439(c); and (c) provide documentation to HUD to support that the requirements of Section 203.665 have been met.                 

*Agency form numbers, if applicable:*                     None.                 

*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 1,744; the number of respondents is 504 generating approximately 1,456 annual responses; the frequency of response is on occasion; and the number of hours per response varies from 2 minutes to 30 minutes.                 

*Status of the proposed information collection:*                     This is an extension of a currently approved collection.
