must be performed by a mortgagee that is approved by HUD to service
insured mortgages. The Mortgage Record Change information is used

Connection. The information required is used to update HUD's Single

the estimate of the annualized
cost to the Federal Government is $400,000 including: $100,000 for

adjustments, only the numbers changed.
