Privacy Act of 1974; Establishment of a New System of Records

Samenvatting

Pursuant to the provision of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), HUD is giving notice that it proposes to establish a new system of records entitled the "Single Family Neighborhood Watch Early Warning System" (NW). HUD staff and lenders use NW to monitor default and claim rates on FHA insured loans for FHA-approved lenders and FHA programs. The system includes records from individuals who have obtained a mortgage insured under HUD/FHA's single-family mortgage insurance programs. It also includes records from individuals involved in the HUD/FHA single-family loan origination process. Specifically, records contained in the system include borrowers' name, property address, Social Security Number or other identifying numbers. NW is a Web-based query tool that displays summary and loan level origination, default and claim information by originating, sponsoring, principal, and agent lenders for two-year periods by beginning amortization date for FHA insured loans, etc.
