ACTION: Notice of FHA points of contact for payment. AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:19 Oct 14, 2015 Jkt 238001 This Notice proactively provides lienholders of single family properties acquired by FHA in payment of mortgage insurance claims with FHA points of contact to ensure payment of tax liens and other types of liens on these single family properties. FHA uses contractors to manage these properties and make property charge payments. Inadvertently at times, these payments remain unpaid. This Notice provides direction for taxing authorities and similarly situated entities such as homeowners associations owed money for finding the proper point of contact at HUD for payment. As litigation to enforce liens should be a last resort, HUD is providing these specific points of contact that lienholders can use to obtain payment and avoid litigation. Through a related notice published elsewhere in today’s Federal Register, HUD provides separate points of contact for payment of taxes and other property charges which have not risen to lien status. Elsewhere in today’s Federal Register, HUD is publishing an interpretive rule regarding the procedures to be followed in bringing an action to foreclose HUD’s ownership interest in properties with such liens that are unpaid. DATES: Effective date: October 15, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected parties concerning the collection of information described in section A on the following: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to these questions. I. Background This Notice provides lienholders on single family properties acquired by FHA in payment of mortgage insurance claims with a Point of Contact in each of the four Homeownership Centers (HOCs). Each one of the four HOCs PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 contains in its organizational structure the FHA operations staff who oversee much of the day-to-day work regarding FHA programs. Each HOC oversees on average 13 states/jurisdictions for FHA activities and has a Real Estate Owned (REO) division that handles the day-today oversight of FHA’s acquired properties so they are (1) protected from vandalism and deterioration and (2) aggressively marketed for as high a price as possible. This Notice provides that the HUD offices that manage these properties are the proper recipients for tax bills and billings of a similar nature. In most cases, having a known point of contact to send billings should obviate the need to have to bring suit against HUD to levy on a property. II. Points of Contact and Procedure HUD’s FHA single family REO properties are managed and marketed out of four HOCs that are located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; Denver, Colorado; and Santa Ana, California (with counsel for Santa Ana being located in San Francisco). Tax bills, condominium and homeowner association fee billings, and billings for special assessments on properties owned by FHA that have arisen to lien status are to be sent to the attention of the director of the FHA REO Divisions in the HOC which has jurisdiction over the property that is subject to the taxes and/or fees. These bills should be sent in a timely manner to the appropriate HOC so that the HOC can remit payment promptly to avoid need for litigation to enforce any liens associated with such billings. Philadelphia HOC—has jurisdiction over properties located in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. The Philadelphia REO Director is the point of contact and can be reached by calling 1–800–CALLFHA (1–800–225– 5342) or by writing to: Attention: Single Family HOC–REO Division, U.S. E:\FR\FM\15OCN1.SGM 15OCN1
