Title of Proposal: Owner of Record and Re-sale Data to Preclude
Predatory Lending Practices (Property Flipping) on FHA Insured
Mortgages.
OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0547.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD
is committed to preventing predatory sales practices. To do so, a
permanent policy provides that FHA will not insure mortgages on
properties re-sold within 90 days and will require that only the owner-
of-record be permitted to sell the property if FHA will insure the
subsequent mortgage. However, in order to accommodate current market
conditions, FHA has established a waiver to this 90-days regulation,
which will expire after a one-year period. Lenders will be required to
provide evidence of the date of the last resale and the date it
occurred. If the resale exceeds area price thresholds established by
FHA, FHA requires an additional appraisal to establish value.
Agency form numbers, if applicable: None.
Estimation of the total numbers 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 43,500; the number of
respondents is 13,000 generating approximately 1,150,000 annual
responses; the frequency of response is on occasion; and the estimated
time needed to prepare the response is less than 1 minute for clerical
data and 1 hour for ARM Disclosure review.
Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C.,
Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: February 23, 2010.
Ronald Y. Spraker,
Associate General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing.
