Builders must certify HUD insured
structures to be free of termit termite hazards. Authorized pest
control companies must perform treatments for termites. The builder
guarantees the treated area against infestation for one year. A
reassessment of the burden has led to the determination that the
information collected is a standard and usual business practice.
The collection of this information is an industry wide standard;
not solely an FHA requirement.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
