Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 73 / Tuesday, April 17, 2007 / Notices
The
Department will submit the proposed
information collection to OMB for
review, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended).
This Notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed
collection of information to: (1) Evaluate
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) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (3) Enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
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.
This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Office of Healthy
Homes and Lead Hazard Control Data
Collection-Quality Assurance Plans.
OMB Control Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD’s
Office of Healthy Homes and Lead
Hazard Control requires its Healthy
Homes Demonstration and Technical
Studies grantees, Lead Technical
Studies grantees, and selected
contractors to submit quality assurance
plans to the Office for approval before
they initiate data collection. This is
required because the respondents are
conducting research or significant
evaluation activities, and quality
assurance procedures are required to
ensure the accuracy and validity of data.
The use of quality assurance plan
templates helps to ensure that quality
assurance activities are well planned
and thorough, and standardizes the
formatting of the plans, which aids both
HUD staff in their review and the
respondents in plan development. The
use of different templates for technical
studies and demonstration projects was
designed to reduce respondent burden
by requiring more detailed information
for the technical studies (research)
projects; consistent with their more
rigorous quality assurance requirements.

Title of Proposal: Assessment of FHA
Lender Customer Satisfaction—Survey
of Businesses.
OMB Control Number, if applicable:
2502–NEW.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: FHA has
recently undertaken efforts to
modernize programs and processes in
order to maintain a strong lending
position with unserved and underserved
borrowers. A customer satisfaction
survey will be conducted to assist FHA
in first assessing the level of satisfaction
that lenders have with their financing
programs and then monitor the changes
in satisfaction as the enhancements to
their programs are put in place. By
compiling quantitative data regarding
customer satisfaction, steps can be taken
to improve FHA’s standing in the
lending market. The initial survey will
serve as a baseline from which to
measure improvement in satisfaction
levels as the survey is completed on an
annual basis.
In 2005, the ‘‘Studies of the Barriers
of the Use of FHA Programs and the Use
of Third-Party Originators for FHAInsured Loans’’ reported that the key
factors contributing to the decline of
FHA-insured product use in the lending
market were the product itself, FHA
processes, and customer relations. From
these results, it was recommended that
FHA undertake steps to enhance its
products and processes and to improve

its customer service. In an effort to
reinvigorate its programs, re-engineer its
processes, and increase responsiveness
to mortgagees, FHA has begun to roll
out new changes in its programs and
methods. FHA is in need of a successful
mechanism through which they can
address their progress in removing the
barriers that were mentioned in the
study. A customer satisfaction survey
serves as a useful method of assessing
the levels of satisfaction of new
programs and also identifying areas that
still need more attention. This survey
will address specific items and access
respondents’ levels of satisfaction or
dissatisfaction so that FHA can take the
appropriate actions while reforming
their programs and processes. Through
conducting this survey on an annual
basis, FHA will have a consistent and
quantitative measure of the level of
customer satisfaction and also
determine if the overall sentiment
regarding FHA has changed versus prior
years.
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 number of
burden hours is 167. The number of
respondents is 668, the frequency of
response is annually, and the burden
hour per response is 15 minutes.

collection:
