Title: Local Appeals to Single-Family Mortgage Limits
Type of Information Collection: No material or nonsubstantive change to a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 01/16/2007
	Date Received in OIRA: 12/18/2006
Terms of Clearance: The request is approved with the understanding that there is no change in policy with regards to the collection of new construction sales data. New construction data is already included in the median sales price data provided to HUD when a request for an increase in mortgage limits is made. When an interested party submits median sales price data to the HOC to request mortgage limits be increased in a particular county, an analyst in the HOC looks at the data and separates out the new construction data and determines the median sales price. Secondly, the analyst determines the median sales price for everything else and comes up with an average of the two medians that will be the base for our calculations FHA Mortgage Limits. There is no impact on petitioning parties because the new construction data is already part of the closed sales data that we would normally get.
