Department to evaluate the performance
of agencies that receive funding and
determine the impact of the program on
preventing and eliminating
discriminatory housing practices.
Respondents: Fair Housing
Enforcement Organizations, Fair

Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
Reinstatement of previously approved
collection to provide and maintain a
current HUD approved HECM counselor
roster. Counseling is required for all
borrowers seeking to obtain an HUD
insured HECM. The HECM Counselor
examination and the HECM Roster
application, HUD Form 92904, assist
HUD in evaluating the knowledge and
capacity of individuals interested in
providing HECM counseling to potential
HECM borrowers, thereby satisfying
statutory requirements and reducing the
risk to the insurance fund. The addition
of the Certificate of HECM Counseling,
HUD Form 92902, which is currently
part of OMB Collection 2502–0524, to
this collection is appropriate because
the Office of Housing Counseling
regulates all items pertinent to the roles
of HUD-approved housing counselors,
which includes HECM Roster
Counselors. OMB Collection 2502–0524
was recently approved by OMB and has
an expiration date of 4/30/2024.
Revisions to HUD Form 92902 were
necessary as per recommendations
made by HUD OGC to ensure
compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act burden statement as
required in 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3) and the
Privacy Act Notice requirements in 5
U.S.C. 552a(e)(3).
