SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CFR Part 50—Protection and
Enhancement of Environmental Quality.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0177.
Type of Request: Extension of

Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD
requests its applicants to supply
environmental information that is not
otherwise available to HUD staff for the
environmental review on an applicant’s
proposal for HUD financial assistance to
develop or improve housing or
community facilities. HUD itself must
perform an environmental review for
the purpose of compliance with its
environmental regulations found at 24
CFR part 50, Protection and
Enhancement of Environmental Quality.
Part 50 implements the National
Environmental Policy Act and
implementing procedures of the Council
on Environmental Quality, as well as
the related federal environmental laws
and executive orders. HUD’s agencywide provisions—24 CFR 50.3(h)(1) and
50.32—regulate how individual HUD
program staffs are to utilize such
collected data when HUD itself prepares
the environmental review and
compliance. Separately, individual HUD
programs each have their own
regulations and guidance implementing
environmental and related collection
responsibilities. For the next three
years, this approved collection will
continue unchanged under this OMB
control number to assure adequate
coverage for all HUD programs subject
to part 50.
Respondents (i.e., affected public):
Businesses, not-for-profit institutions,
and local governments receiving HUD
funding.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,800.
Estimated Number of Responses:
1,800.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Hours per Response: 3.
Total Estimated Burdens: 5,400.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Single
Family Mortgage Insurance for
Hawaiian Homelands.
OMB Approval Number: 2502–0358.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: FHA
insures mortgages on single-family
dwellings under provisions of the
National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1709).
The Housing and Urban Rural Recovery
Act (HURRA), Public Law 98–181,
amended the National Housing Act to
add Section 247 (12 U.S.C. 1715z–12) to
permit FHA to insure mortgages for
properties located on Hawaiian
Homelands. Under this program, the
mortgagor must be a native Hawaiian. In
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
accordance with 24 CFR 203.43i, the
collection of information is verification
that a loan applicant is a native
Hawaiian and that the applicant holds
a lease on land in a Hawaiian
Homelands area. A borrower must
obtain verification of eligibility from
DHHL and submit it to the lender. A
borrower cannot obtain a loan under
these provisions without proof of status
as a native Hawaiian. United States
citizens living in Hawaii are not eligible
for this leasehold program unless they
are native Hawaiians. The eligibility
document is required to obtain benefits.
In accordance with 24 CFR 203.439(c),
lenders must report monthly to HUD
and the DHHL on delinquent borrowers
and provide documentation to HUD to
support that the loss mitigation
requirements of 24 CFR 203.602 have
been met. To assist the DHHL in
identifying delinquent loans, lenders
report monthly. A delinquent mortgage
that is reported timely would allow
DHHL to intervene and prevent
foreclosure.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
Individuals (loan applicants) and
Business or other for-profit (lenders).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
15,871.
Estimated Number of Responses: 446.
Frequency of Response: Monthly and
on occasion.
Average Hours per Response: 5
minutes per response (.08 hours) for
review of certification and lease, and 25
minutes (.42 hours) per response for
delinquency reporting.
Total Estimated Burdens: 51.32.
