This information is collected from OHF
staff, mortgagees, mortgagors, contractors and agents to manage and
monitor the application, procedure, project administration, and
initial/final endorsement of projects undertaken by Office of
Hospital Facilities.
Average burden hour estimates
were reviewed and updated when appropriate, to better reflect
estimates for the hours required to complete the forms and to
follow guidance for application (including the Pre-Application and
Application Guides), construction, environmental, and other
procedures presented in Handbook 4615.1 for the Section 242
Mortgage Insurance Program. The bulk of the hours estimated for
application activities (including pre-application) of program
stakeholders participating in the Section 242 Mortgage Insurance
Program (including lenders, borrowers, attorneys, construction
contractors, architects, and engineers) are estimated under the
average hours for the HUD-92013-OHF, Application for Hospital
Project Mortgage Insurance. Additional language was added to every
burden statement in the collection to ensure that requirements
under 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3) are met. Revised average burden hour
estimates result in an addition of 6,198.75 hours to the total
Annual Burden Hours for the collection. The new and removed forms
will add a net addition of 180.5 hours [184 hrs (HUD-92266-OHF,
added) + 4 hrs (HUD-92476B-OHF, added) – 7.5 hrs (HUD-9250-OHF,
removed)] for a total addition of 6,379.25 hours to the estimated
Annual Burden Hours for this collection. The net change from the
last submission of Total Annual Burden Hours is an increase of
6,379.25 hours for this collection. Updated wage rates were used
based upon the mean labor rates published on the U.S. Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics website
(https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm) and the 2018 General
Schedule Base Pay Table
(https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2018/GS.pdf).
The wage rate calculations also now include a 1.46 multiplier to
reflect a fully-loaded wage rate. The overall Annual Cost estimate
increase is due to the updated burden hour estimates and revised
and updated wage rates used to calculate the estimated annual
costs. The net change from the last submission of overall Annual
Cost estimate is an increase of $2,235,279. The change reflects the
addition of two new forms (HUD-92266-OHF Application for Transfer
of Physical Assets and HUD-92476B-OHF Escrow Agreement for the
Release of Collateral) to accommodate specific and occasional
situations involving the sale of FHA-insured collateral and
transfer of physical assets, as well as the removal of HUD-9250-OHF
(Funds Authorizations) from the collection, which has proven to be
unnecessary for the Section 242 hospital program. Thirty-five of
the forty documents within the collection are being renewed with no
substantive content changes aside from the burden hour statement
and fraud warning clarifications. Revisions are proposed for the
HUD-92466-OHF (Regulatory Agreement), HUD-92422-OHF (Financial and
Statistical Data for HUD Reporting), and HUD-94000-OHF (Security
Instrument) to include edits that were made to include edits that
were made to clarify current policies and definitions, reflect
updated general accepted accounting standards, or to address minor
inconsistencies across documents. Note: HUD-92415-OHF is an
existing form that was included in the last OMB submission. It was
discovered to be missing off the approved 2016 NOA. This was a
data-entry error on the NOA.
