Homes Underwriting Management System (CHUMS), HUD/H-5'' in its
inventory of systems of records notices subject to the Privacy Act of
1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended. Notice of this system was last
published at 55 FR 17676, April 26, 1990.

contrary determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD/H-5 contains a variety of records
relating to HUD's single-family underwriting process. This system aids
the Department in the processing of mortgagee applications for property
appraisal and commitment for HUD/FHA mortgage insurance, and in the
subsequent administration of HUD/FHA mortgage insurance programs.
Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) as amended, notice
is given that HUD proposes to add a new routine use category to reflect
the fact that the records will be utilized in a computer matching
program. This new routine use identifies the categories of users (i.e.,
the Department of Agriculture, Education, Veteran Affairs, the Small
Business Administration, and other agencies) to whom records may be
disclosed pursuant to authorized and approved computer matching
programs undertaken for debt collection purposes.
The amended portion of the system notice is set forth below.
Previously, the system and a prefatory statement containing the general
routine uses applicable to all HUD systems of records was published in
the ``Federal Register Privacy Act Issuances, 1991 Compilation, Volume
I.''
Title 5 U.S.C. 552a(e) (4) and (11) provide that the public be
afforded a 30-day period in which to comment on the new record system.
The system report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), has been
submitted to the Committee on Government Operations of the House of
Representatives, the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate
and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), pursuant to paragraph 4c
of Appendix I to OMB Circular A-130, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities
for Maintaining Records about Individuals'' dated June 25, 1993 (58 FR
36075, July 2, 1993).
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552a, 88 Stat. 1896; sec. 7(d), Department
of HUD Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(d)).
