The Mortgage Insurance Termination
information is used by FHA-approved lenders to terminate FHA
insurance to comply with HUD requirements. The Application for
Premium Refund or Distributive Share Payment is used by homeowners
to apply for the unearned portion of the mortgage insurance premium
or a distributive share payment.
US Code:
12
USC 1709 Name of Law: National Housing Act
The decrease in the estimated
numbers of respondents, responses, burden hours, and costs reflects
the decrease in FHA loan activity in recent years. Previously, the
decrease in interest rates caused larger numbers of homeowners to
refinance their existing loans to reduce their monthly mortgage
payments. With the recent stabilization of interest rates, fewer
homeowners are refinancing.
