# Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB; FHA-Insured Mortgage Loan Servicing for Performing Loans; MIP Processing, Escrow Administration, Customer Service, Servicing Fees and 235 Loans
**AGENCY:**
Office of the Chief Information Officer, HUD.
**ACTION:**
Notice.
**SUMMARY:**
The proposed information collection requirement described below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal.
FHA insurance is an important source of mortgage credit for low and moderate income borrowers and neighborhoods. Providing assistance, as needed, to enable families to cure their delinquencies and retain their homes stabilizes neighborhoods that might otherwise suffer from deterioration and problems associated with vacant and abandoned properties. Avoidance of foreclosure and the resultant costs also serve to further stabilize the mortgage insurance premiums charged by FHA and the Federal budget receipts generated from those premiums. This information collection request for OMB review is an extension of a currently approved collection.

*Comments Due Date:* July 16, 2012.
