    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Form 
HUD-92013 is the basic application form used in all HUD/FHA multifamily 
insurance programs. HUD-92013 and its related exhibits are needed by 
the Department to determine project feasibility, and mortgagor/
contractor acceptability. The Department is required to analyze 
specific information including financial data, cost data, drawings, and 
specifications to determine whether the proposed project meets program 
requirements for mortgage insurance. Form HUD-92013-NHICF is the basic 
application used specifically to insured nursing homes, intermediate 
care facilities, and board and care homes. HUD-92013-NHICF is used to 
determine project feasibility and mortgagor/contractor acceptability 
when insuring health care facilities. Form HUD-92013-Supp is used to 
determine the creditworthiness of principal sponsors and the general 
contractor, the existence of any federal debt, judgments, or bankruptcy 
claims. The collection of this information is required to reduce the 
risk of project defaults and claims against the FHA insurance funds.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-92013, HUD-92013-NHICF, 
HUD-92013-Supp.
    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: The estimated number of respondents 
for form HUD-92013 is 1500, the frequency of responses is 1, the number 
of burden hours is 68 hours, for a total of 102,000 annual burden 
hours. The estimated number of respondents for HUD-92013-NHICF is 
1,000, the frequency of responses is 1, the number of burden hours is 
64, for a total of 64,000 annual burden hours. The estimated number of 
respondents for HUD-92013-Supp is 3,800, the frequency of responses is 
1, the number of burden hours is 0.6, for a total of 2,280 annual 
burden hours.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Reinstatement 
without change or previously approved collection for which approval has 
expired.
