Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
(the Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5174,
prescribes that FEMA must annually
adjust the maximum amount for
assistance provided under the
Individuals and Households Program
(IHP). FEMA gives notice that the
maximum amount of IHP financial
assistance provided to an individual or
household under section 408 of the
Stafford Act with respect to any single
emergency or major disaster is $33,000.
The increase in award amount as stated
above is for any single emergency or
major disaster declared on or after
October 1, 2015. In addition, in
accordance with 44 CFR 61.17(c), this
adjustment includes the maximum
amount of available coverage under any
Group Flood Insurance Policy (GFIP)
issued.
FEMA bases the adjustment on an
increase in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers of 0.2 percent
for the 12-month period, which ended
in August 2015. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor released the information on
September 16, 2015.

Collection.

Type of Request New collection.
Form Number: Survey.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
purpose of this effort is to support
communities in the 28 ConnectHome
sites in administering a baseline survey
of targeted residents’ current at-home
Internet access. The survey
administration will include the
development of an outreach plan with
HUD ConnectHome collaborators and
communities; selection of a sample of
participants to be surveyed;
administration of an initial baseline
internet access survey; and submission
of a database, codebook, frequency
output tables for collected data; and
submission of a summary analysis of the
collected data.
The baseline survey will provide HUD
with baseline measures of in-home highspeed internet access, barriers to access
among those without access, and types
of devices used to access the internet.
Upon establishing baseline measures,
HUD’s ConnectHome team will use this
information to support local efforts in
closing the digital divide.

Federal Housing Administration (FHA):
Points of Contact for Lienholders To
Ensure Payment of Taxes Liens and
Other Types of Liens on FHA Acquired
Single Family Properties
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Housing-FHA
Commissioner, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of FHA points of contact
for payment.
AGENCY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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.
