Mortgagor's Cost Breakdowns and Certifications.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0044.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-92330-A, HUD-2328, HUD-2205-A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Contractors use the form HUD-2328 to establish a schedule of values of 
construction items on which the monthly advances or mortgage proceeds 
are based. Contractors use the form HUD-92330-A to convey actual 
construction costs in a standardized format of cost certification. In 
addition to assuring that the mortgage proceeds have not been used for 
purposes other than construction costs, HUD-92330-A further protects 
the interest of the Department by directly monitoring the accuracy of 
the itemized trades on form HUD-2328. This form also serves as project 
data to keep Field Office cost data banks and cost estimates current 
and accurate. HUD-2205A is used to certify the actual costs of 
acquisition or refinancing of projects insured under Section 223(f) 
program.
    Respondents: Business or other for profit. Not for profit

    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
