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.
