Terms of Clearance: Approved consistent with changes detailed in revised submissions. HUD is cleared to collect data from the first 3 sites with this approval, but must come back to OMB with the revised protocol for later investigations of the GFE and GMPA, including cross- walks between those forms and the HUD-1. HUD is commended for their thorough study of the new forms in order to allow consumers the most understandable documents under the RESPA reform efforts. Burden hours are changed to include only the first round of testing (at the initial 3 sites). HUD should include the burden from the other round of testing in the next submission.

A crosswalk between these forms and the HUD-1 will also be tested. The testing of the forms will take place in five cities in two rounds. The forms will be modified based on the results of the testing between the rounds.
