continue also to conduct the MIRS, from
which the data used to derive the ARM
Index was obtained. The Finance Board
conducted the MIRS and produced the
ARM Index from 1989 through 2008,
when Congress abolished that agency
and transferred its responsibilities to the
newly-created FHFA.2
Since 2008, FHFA has continued to
conduct the MIRS and produce the
ARM Index.3 By statute, MIRS data is
one of the factors that FHFA is required
to consider in assessing the national
average one-family house price for
purposes of periodically adjusting the
conforming mortgage loan limits of
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.4 In
addition, statutes in several states and
U.S. territories, including California,
Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey,
Wisconsin, and the Virgin Islands, refer
to, or rely upon, the MIRS.5
Many lenders use FHFA’s ARM
Index, derived from MIRS data, to set
interest rates on fixed rate loans. In
addition, businesses, trade associations,
and government agencies at both the
federal and state level rely upon the
MIRS data for various business and
regulatory purposes. For example,
economic policy makers have used the
MIRS data to determine trends in the
mortgage markets, including interest
rates, down payments, terms to
maturity, terms on ARMs, and initial
fees and charges on mortgage loans.
Other federal banking agencies, such as
the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and the Council of
Economic Advisors, have used the MIRS
results for research purposes.
The OMB number for the information
collection is 2590–0004, which is due to
expire on March 31, 2014. The likely
respondents are mortgage lenders in the
United States.

B. Burden Estimate
FHFA estimates the total annual
number of respondents at 70 with 6
responses per respondent (because not
every respondent will have new
mortgage loans to report every month).
The estimate for the average time per
response is 20 minutes. The combined
estimate for the total annual hour

burden is 140 hours (70 respondents ×
6 responses × 0.33 hours).
C. Comment Request
FHFA requests written comments on
the following: (1) Whether the collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of FHFA functions,
including whether the information has
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
FHFA’s estimates of the burdens of the
collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
