Department of Housing and Urban Development October 20, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

HUD is amending the Computerized Homes Underwriting Management System (CHUMS) to reflect changes to the following sections, which involve lenders and program administrators of Federal Housing Administrations (FHA) Mortgage Insurance Programs: first time homebuyers, Home Equity Conversion Mortgages for home owners, 203(k) for the rehabilitation of existing properties, Veteran Affairs certified FHA loans, and other FHA mortgage insurance programs. The changes to the amended system of records are to the ``Purposes'' and ``Routine Uses of Records Maintained in the System'' captions. Additionally, HUD proposes to provide notice of a new system, the Loan Application Management System (LAMS), which is expected to replace CHUMS. Both proposals reflect the present status of the information contained in the systems and new data sharing practices, as well as enhancements to improve program services. The existing scope, objectives, and business processes in place for this program remain unchanged. A more detailed description of the present system is contained in notice ``Purpose'' caption. This notice supersedes the previous notice published in the Federal Register for CHUMS on December 28, 2010 at 73 FR 81635.

Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (U.S.C. 552a (e)(4)), as amended, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Circular No. A-130, notice is hereby given that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of General Counsel's Departmental Enforcement Center (OGC/DEC) and the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) propose to delete the following systems of records and create a new system of records: the HUD Enforcement Management System (HEMS). HEMS is part of the Department's efforts to streamline, consolidate, and automate the Department's enforcement business processes. HEMS will replace three legacy HUD enforcement systems: (1) Title Eight Paperless Online Tracking System (FR-5386-N-04) which tracks and manages housing discrimination complaints for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, (2) Compliance Case Tracking System (HUD/EC-01) with tracks and manages HUD's suspensions and debarements for HUD's Enforcement Center, and (3) Departmental Tracking System (HUD/EC-02) which tracks and manages timely processing and closure of physical, financial, and non-filer cases for HUD's Enforcement Center. The HEMS system will deliver operational efficiencies currently unavailable by existing enforcement technology. Implementation of the new system enables collaboration across multiple HUD enforcement offices through a shared database. The existing scope, objectives, and business processes in place for the above mentioned programs remain unchanged. A more detailed description of the present system is contained in the notice purpose section. Furthermore, this notice supersedes system of records notices published in the Federal Register for the above notices being replaced by HEMS.
