1 Households

participating in the Family Self-Sufficiency Demonstration will range widely in employment position and earnings. We have estimated the hourly wage
at the expected prevailing minimum wage, which is $7.25 per hour. We expect about 50 percent of the participants to be employed at the time of study entry. A recent report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, some 55 percent of non-elderly, non-disabled households receiving voucher assistance reported earned income in 2010. The typical (median) annual earnings for these families were $15,600, only slightly more than the pay from full-time, year-round minimum-wage work.
(http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3634). Based on this, we assumed 50% of participants would be working at the federal minimum wage.
2 For program staff participating in interviews, the estimate uses the median hourly wages of selected occupations (classified by Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes) was sourced from the Occupational Employment Statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Potentially relevant occupations and their median hourly wages are:

29.40

Source: Occupational Employment Statistics, accessed online March 20, 2015 at http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm.
To estimate cost burden to program staff respondents, we use an average of the occupations listed, or $24.33/hr.
4 For program staff supporting data extraction activities and FSS Partner staff, the estimate uses the median hourly wages of selected relevant
occupations in a manner similar to the above. A standard wage assumption of $33.58/hr. was created by averaging median hourly wage rates for
these occupations:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Quality Control Requirements for Direct
Endorsement Lenders.
OMB Approval Number: 2502–0600.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Under
24 CFR 202.8(3), Direct Endorsement
(DE) lenders which sponsor third-party
originators (TPOs) are responsible to the
Secretary for the actions of TPOs or
mortgagees in originating loans or
mortgages, unless applicable law or
regulation requires specific knowledge
on the part of the party to be held
responsible. As a result, DE lenders are
responsible for conducting quality
control on TPO originations of FHAinsured mortgage loans, and ensuring
that their quality control plans contain
appropriate oversight provisions. This

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001

creates an information collection burden
on DE lenders, since these institutions
must conduct quality control on all
loans they originate and underwrite. In
addition, under 24 CFR 203.255(c) and
(e), HUD conducts both pre- and postendorsement reviews of loans submitted
for FHA insurance by DE lenders. As
part of those reviews, the Secretary is
authorized to determine if there is any
information indicating that any
certification or required document is
false, misleading, or constitutes fraud or
misrepresentation on the part of any
party, or that the mortgage fails to meet
a statutory or regulatory requirement. In
order to assist the Secretary with this
directive, FHA requires that lenders
self-report all findings of fraud and
material misrepresentation, as well any
material findings concerning the
origination, underwriting, or servicing
of the loan that the lender is unable to
mitigate or otherwise resolve. The
obligation to self-report these findings
creates an additional information
collection burden on DE lenders.
In accordance with the requirements
of 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a Notice soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was initially published in
the Federal Register on December 21,
2010 (Volume 75, Number 244, page
80066). At that time, FHA still allowed
for loan correspondents to participate in
its programs and had not yet
transitioned to the use of TPOs.
Therefore, FHA estimated information
collection burdens based on the
expected used of TPOs by DE lenders.
Three years later, FHA has revised these
estimates with real data, which has
substantially reduced the information
collection burden associated with OMB
Control Number 2502–0600.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,831.
Estimated Number of Responses:
135,682.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Average Hours per Response: .52.
Total Estimated Burdens: 71,017.
