Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The Form HUD-93101 is sent by lenders to individual borrowers to determine and adjust the amount of subsidy a mortgagor is eligible to receive. It is used for securing re-certifications. The forms serve as vehicles for obtaining the information necessary to determine family income and composition, and to compute assistance under HUD guidelines. The HUD-93101-A form is no longer submitted to HUD by lenders for statistical analysis of increase and decrease in subsidy and general program information. Mortgagees maintain copies of both forms HUD-93101 and 93101-A for audit purposes.

Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-93101 and HUD-93101-A.

Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response: The number of respondents is 7,000, the frequency of responses is annually, for a total of 7,000 total annual responses. The estimated time to prepare collection varies from 6 minutes to 1 hour, for a total annual burden hours of 3,850.

Status of the proposed information collection: This is an extension of a currently approved collection.

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended.

Dated: June 26, 2007.
