The Single Family Premium Collection
Subsystem-Upfront (SFPCS-U) is used by lenders to remit Upfront
Mortgage Insurance Premiums using funds obtained from the borrower
during the closing of the mortgage transaction at
settlement.
There is an increase in the
number of lenders to account for all FHA-approved lenders. HUD has
decreased its estimate of burden hours per response because the
transactions are all electronic.
