The Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and

to: (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2)

This Notice also lists the following information:
Title of Proposal: Monthly Delinquent Loan Report.
OMB Control Number: 2502-0060.
Description of the need for the information and the proposed use:
The data compiled from the information collected is a management tool
which assists HUD in monitoring, evaluating and comparing the
performance and servicing practices of HUD-approved mortgagees.
HUD uses the data collected to identify potential risks to the
insurance fund. A high default/foreclosure ratio is an immediate
indicator that a mortgagee may be servicing its loans in a manner that
encourages defaults and which increases HUD's exposure and likelihood
of paying a claim.
Agency form numbers: HUD-92068A.
Members of affected public: Business or other for-profit.
An estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the
information collection is 24,000, number of respondents is 4,000,
frequency of response is monthly and the hours per response is .5.
Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: February 19, 1997.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing, Federal Housing Commissioner.
