the Prompt Payment Act, if an interest
penalty is owed to a business concern,
the penalty shall be paid regardless of
whether the business concern requested
payment of such penalty. 31 U.S.C.
3902(c)(1). Agencies must pay the
interest penalty calculated with the
interest rate, which is in effect at the
time the agency accrues the obligation
to pay a late payment interest penalty.

shall be paid for the period beginning
on the day after the required payment
date and ending on the date on which

Title: Troubled Asset Relief
Program—Making Home Affordable
Participants.
OMB Control Number: 1505–0216.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: Authorized under the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
(EESA) of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–343), the
Department of the Treasury has
implemented several aspects of the
Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
Among these components was a
voluntary foreclosure prevention
program—the Making Home Affordable
(MHA) program, under which the
Department used TARP capital to lower
the mortgage payments of qualifying
borrowers. The Treasury did this
through agreements with mortgage
servicers (Servicer Participation
Agreements, or SPAs) to modify loans
on their systems. Pursuant to the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016
(Pub. L. 114–113), the MHA program
terminated on December 31, 2016,
except with respect to certain loan
modification applications made before
such date. The MHA program has
several subcomponents: HAMP (Home
Affordable Modification Program), 2MP
(Second Lien Modification Program),
HAFA (Home Affordable Foreclosure
Alternatives) and FHA (Federal Housing
Administration)/RD (Rural
Development) HAMP. Though the MHA
program has terminated, there is some
data reporting that will continue
through December 2023 for incentive
payment and compliance purposes.
