Title of Proposal: Mortgage Insurance Termination--HUD-27050-A,
Application for Premium Refund or Distributive Share Payment, HUD-
27050-B.
OMB Control Number: 2502-0414.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use:
Mortgage Insurance Termination, form HUD-27050-A, is used by servicing
mortgagees to comply with HUD requirements for reporting termination of
FHA mortgage insurance. This form is used whenever FHA mortgage
insurance is terminated and no claim for insurance benefits will be
filed. Under the new streamline III program when the form is submitted
on magnetic tape, the form can be used to directly pay eligible
homeowners. This condition occurs when the form passes the criteria of
certain system edits.
As the result the system generates a disbursement to the eligible
homeowner for the refund consisting of the unused portion of the paid
premium. The collection information required is used
[[Page 19947]]
to update HUD's Single Family Insurance System. The billing of mortgage
insurance premiums is discontinued as a result of the transaction.
Without this information the premium collection/monitoring function
would be severely impeded and program data would be unreliable. Under
streamline III when the form is processed and but does not pass the
series of edits the system generates in these cases the form HUD-27050-
B to the homeowner to be completed and returned to HUD for further
processing for the refund. In general a Premium Refund is the
difference between the amount of prepaid premium and the amount of the
premium that has been earned by HUD up to the time the mortgage is
terminated.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information for the HUD-27050-A is estimated to average 5 minutes per
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection of information. The number of
respondents is 9,500 and the frequency of response is as required and
the volume per respondents is 1 to 40,000 depending on the size of
their FHA portfolio.
Public reporting burden for this collection of information for the
HUD-27-50-B is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including
the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources
gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing
the collection of information. The number of respondents is 382, 000
and the frequency of response is one time and the volume per
respondents is 1.
Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: April 26, 1996.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.
