Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: HUD is requesting the addition of form HUD-50002, Request to Exceed Cost Limits for Preservation and Protection, an increase of 11,500 burden hours. There is an increase in burden hours because the number of annual responses has increased, and HUD has identified and requests approval for recordkeeping hours. However, the number of respondents stated in the last submission as 450 has decreased to 275 respondents because there has been a decrease of mortgagees and servicers. The reason is that a number of smaller mortgagees have opted to discontinue the FHA mortgage lending business, and a number of other mortgagees have consolidated with bigger companies. Many mortgagees do not service their own loans but contract out servicing to approximately 275 mortgage servicing companies.
