Short Statement: The National Servicing Center reported during the period of July 2005 to June 2006 that of the 53,879 claims filed, 18 actual claims involved damaged property conveyances. The estimated number of cases decreased from 250 to 18 from the last time this PRA was approved. We are estimating 50 cases per year to adjust for the recent natural disasters of 2005. This will be a decrease of 100 burden hours. The number of respondents increased from 250 to 275 to include all loan servicers to whom this collection of information applies and not just those who actually certify.
