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) â 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.
