The HECM reverse mortgage application
and related documents are used to determine the eligibility of the
borrower and proposed mortgage transaction for FHA insurance
endorsement. This submission is a consolidation of additional
consumer notification requirements formerly approved under
2502-0534 and 2502-0546.
Changes to the HECM program, as
outlined in Mortgagee Letters 2013-27 and 2013-28, will result in
decreased loan volume. That is, in the short term, fewer HECM
borrowers may be eligible because of lower principal limits and
increased credit underwriting. As a result, this revised submission
reduces the total annual responses from 129,000 to 100,000. The
previous information collection "Lender describes HECM Standard and
HECM Saver MIP and factors" is no longer required as the two
programs were eliminated, as outlined in Mortgagee Letter
2013-27.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
