HUD Correction and Reopening of Comment Period for Single Family Mortgage Insurance Origination System SORN
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is correcting an error in its January 16, 2026 Federal Register notice (91 FR 2137). The original notice intended to remove routine use "P" from the Single Family Mortgage Insurance Origination System (SFMIOS) SORN but failed to provide the replacement text required by OMB Memorandum M-25-32. This new notice replaces the incomplete modification with specific language allowing disclosure of records to the U.S. Department of the Treasury via the Do Not Pay (DNP) system. The purpose is to identify, prevent, and recover improper payments and verify borrower eligibility under the Payments Integrity Information Act of 2019. The public comment period for this corrected second modification is reopened until May 6, 2026. The first modification (adding a new routine use across multiple SORNs) became effective February 18, 2026 with no comments received.
