Title of Proposal: Direct Endorsement
Underwriter/HUD Reviewer—Analysis
of Appraisal Report.
OMB Control Number, if applicable:
2502–0477.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Department requires Direct
Endorsement Underwriters to maintain
responsibility for the appraisal and the
appraised value. When the DE
Underwriter disagrees with the value
conclusion and cannot reach the
appraiser or the appraiser refuses to
change the appraisal, the Department
allows the DE Underwriter to make
changes and requires the underwriter to
do so on the HUD 54114. The
information collected is used by FHA to
monitor the quality of the lender’s
analysis of the appraisal report, identify
areas of weakness for future training,
and removing lenders that consistently
exhibits careless underwriting and
subsequently affect the risk to the
Department.
Agency form numbers, if applicable:
HUD–54114.
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 burden hours needed to
prepare the information collection is
27,916; the number of respondents is
127,000 generating approximately
127,000 annual responses; the frequency
of response is on occasion; and the
estimated time needed to prepare the
response is .05 hour per response.
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: July 24, 2012.

Description of the Need for
Information and Proposed Use: The
Department is conducting this study
under contract with The Urban Institute

populations, most notably through the
Indian Housing Block Grant. The level
of housing need is of particular interest
to HUD and the Congress has mandated
this study. HUD has not published a
study on housing needs, in general, for
this population since 1996. The surveys
covered by this data collection include
a household survey of native Hawaiians,
living in Hawaii, served by the
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federally
recognized tribes are invited to attend

• In their report on the Department of
the Interior, Environment, and Related
Agencies Appropriation Bill for fiscal
year 2012, the House of Representatives
Committee on Appropriations stated, in
part, ‘‘The Committee is aware of the
duplication that exists in the
Department of the Interior’s wildland
fire programs, with multiple parallel
organizations in four bureaus, each
having nearly identical administrative
organizations at the national, state, and
regional levels, and at the local level.’’
The Committee went on in the report to
direct the Department of the Interior to
‘‘complete an assessment of the
Department’s wildland fire management
programs in order to determine the most
cost effective, efficient means of
providing comprehensive fire
management services in support of the
Departmental and bureau missions and
to better direct scarce resources from
duplicative administrative management
organizations to focus resources on the
protection of lives, property and natural
and cultural resources.’’ The Committee
asked for a set of options for
restructuring and conducting the
wildland fire management programs.
• In response to the Committee’s
report, the Department of the Interior

responsibilities for administration and
management of preparedness,

fire facilities, fire science, community
assistance, and budget and finance

also asked to, evaluate existing
alternative models for service delivery,
including the Alaska Fire Service, state,
and other countries and identify
resources that can be redirected to onthe-ground services through
reorganization of its wildland fire
management programs.’’
• This review is ongoing and has
included the Office of Wildland Fire,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of
Land Management, National Park
Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, the

interviews have been conducted as they
are a major partner in the Federal
wildland fire management program.
• On June 19, 2012, Task 1, the
identification of potential opportunities,
was completed; and Task 2,
development of recommendations,
began. As part of Task 2, and in support
