HUD requires the builder to provide
information that notes an adverse site/location factor(s) on the
property, including floodplains. Lenders review the form and send
it to HUD. This is done so that HUD does not insure a mortgage on
property that poses a risk to health or safety of the
occupant.
The decrease in the number
burden hours results from fewer new construction loans being
insured and expected to be insured during the collection
period.Based upon an average of approximately 90,000 new
construction cases per year, the total burden hours will be 6,800.
While the information collected regarding floodplains may (at the
option of the builder) be different, there are no expected changes
in the burden hours.
