The data collection requirements
consist of an electronic lender certification process and
requirements to provide reports and loan samples at FHA's request,
and appeals in writing for loss of privilege to use the
scorecard.
The number of respondents has
increased to include all potential respondents. The total number of
FHA lenders is approximately 12,000, but only about 3,500 have
entered certifications to date, leaving roughly 8,500 potential
respondents. The numbers of responses and total burden hours have
decreased due to the lower expected number of new
certifications.
