The HECM reverse mortgage application and related documents are used to determine the eligibility of the borrower and proposed mortgage transaction for FHA insurance endorsement. This submission is a consolidation of additional consumer notification requirements formerly approved under 2502-0534 and 2502-0546.
Changes to the HECM program, as outlined in Mortgagee Letters 2013-27 and 2013-28, will result in decreased loan volume. That is, in the short term, fewer HECM borrowers may be eligible because of lower principal limits and increased credit underwriting. As a result, this revised submission reduces the total annual responses from 129,000 to 100,000. The previous information collection "Lender describes HECM Standard and HECM Saver MIP and factors" is no longer required as the two programs were eliminated, as outlined in Mortgagee Letter 2013-27.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
