Is this a new or substantially revised electronic information system? If revised, describe revisions.

This system is not new nor has it been substantially revised since implementation during April 1989.

I. Describe the information to be collected (e.g., nature and source). Be sure to include any information in an identifiable form, e.g., name, address, social security number or other identifying number or code, telephone number, email address, etc).

The system captures the FHA assigned case number and the amount of the payment identified by the lending institution submitting payments via Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD), supported by the one Treasury assigned collection agent for HUD premium collections, Bank of America.

II. Why is the information being collected (e.g., to determine eligibility)?

HUD requires that the mortgage lending industry that closes FHA loans pay the upfront and monthly mortgage insurance premiums.

The information will liquidate established receivables created by the billing process for active FHA cases that are subject to an upfront and monthly premium payments.

IV. Will you share the information with others (e.g., another agency for a programmatic purpose)? If yes, list the entities.

No, the collection information is not shared with other federal agencies. In addition, there are various other HUD systems that interact with HECM, i.e., CHUMS and the Single Family Data Warehouse System.

The OCIO manages and oversees the computers security program.
