Counseling is required for all borrowers seeking to obtain an HUD insured HECM. The HECM Counselor examination and the HECM Roster application, HUD Form 92904, assist HUD in evaluating the knowledge and capacity of individuals interested in providing HECM counseling to potential HECM borrowers, thereby satisfying statutory requirements and reducing the risk to the insurance fund. The addition of the Certificate of HECM Counseling, HUD Form 92902, which is currently part of OMB Collection 2502–0524, to this collection is appropriate because the Office of Housing Counseling regulates all items pertinent to the roles of HUD-approved housing counselors, which includes HECM Roster Counselors. OMB Collection 2502–0524 was recently approved by OMB and has an expiration date of 4/30/2024. Revisions to HUD Form 92902 were necessary as per recommendations made by HUD OGC to ensure compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act burden statement as required in 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3) and the Privacy Act Notice requirements in 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3).
