Contractors, mortgagors, and mortgagees submit the information to HUD to obtain approval of the changes in approved contract drawings and/or specifications. The forms are needed by HUD to obtain compliance with the construction contract.
The previous OMB collection reflects an accurate assessment of the numbers submitted under this collection, which once included three forms. The specific forms: HUD-92441, HUD-92442, and HUD-2442-A were removed from this collection and placed under the Multifamily Closing control number 2502-0598. Forms HUD-92442, and HUD-92442-A were combined into one document HUD-92442M. The current numbers are based on the average of three fiscal years of initial endorsements. Under this collection number, these forms must be removed from ROCIS.
