A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: New Construction Subterranean

    OMB Approved Number: 2502-0525.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD NPFA-99A and HUD NPFA-99B.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD 
regulations at 24 CFR 200.926d(b)(3) require that the sites for HUD 
insured structures must be free of termite hazards. The HUD-NPCA-99-A 
requires the builder to certify that all required treatment for 
termites was performed by an authorized pest control company and 
further that the builder guarantees the treated area against 
infestation for one year. The form HUD-NPCA-99-B requires a licensed 
pest control company to provide to the builder a record of specific 
treatment information in those cases when the soil treatment method is 
used for prevention of subterranean termite infestation.
    When applicable the HUD-NPCA-99-B must accompany the HUD-NPCA-99-A. 
If the requested data is not collected, new home purchasers and HUD are 
subject to the risk of purchasing or insuring a home that is infested 
by termites and would have no recourse against the builder.
