Approved for 90 days with the following conditions. (1) The HUD form 9746, "Specification of Repairs," is not approved for use. HUD has failed to indicate the specific problems created by allowing the submission of "work orders," which is HUD's current practice. These work orders describe the rehabilitation work to be performed and are a "usual and customary" information requirement (i.e., the standard private-sector requirement) in rehabilitation work and property appraisals. Without an enumeration and description of specific problems associated with the acceptance of work orders, the benefits of conforming to standard industry practice override HUD's desire to impose a uniform reporting requirement. HUD may require work orders to be submitted under this OMB control number. (2) In addition, HUD must provide a stronger rationale for regulating draw requests (HUD form 9746-A). This rationale should identify the contractual agreements entered into by HUD with the mortgagee and mortgagor for the issuance of mortgage insurance under the 203(k) program, and should discuss the feasibility of making the insurance contract contingent on the successful completion of work identified in the work contract, which should obviate HUD's need to regulate draw requests.
