This Notice also lists the following information: 

*Title of Proposal:*                     Issuer's Monthly Remittance Advice and Issuer's Monthly Serial Note Remittance Advice.                

*OMB Control Number, if applicable:*                     2503-0015.                

*Description of the need for the information and proposed use:*                     The Form HUD 11714 is used to advise each security holder of the current month's account transactions and calculation of holder's pro rata share percentage of total cash distribution. The Form HUD 11714SN is used to provide a summary of information to the holders of Serial Note Certificates with respect to the current month's account transactions, calculation of interest and principal to be distributed, and data with respect to the redemption of Serial Units.                

*Agency form numbers, if applicable:*                     HUD Form 11714 and 11714SN.                

*Members of affected public:*                     For-profit business (mortgage industry trade associations, securities companies, accounting firms, law firms, service providers, etc.)                

*Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response:*

Estimation of total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection is based on the number of respondents multiplied by the frequency of responses:

445 issuers + 21,500 responses = 21,945 responses

21,945 × 12 months = 263,340 Annual Responses,

                    263,340 × .01 (1 minute) =                     *2,633 Annual Burden Hours*

*Status of the proposed information collection:*                     This is a reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired.                

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

Dated: February 1, 2001.

Executive Vice President, Ginnie Mae.
