                 HUD's acqounting records show that as of February 1,
            1976, mortgagees were delinquent in paying mortgage insurance
            premiums amounting to over $20 million.

                 FHA administers mortgage insurance programs under which
            lending institutions (mortgagees) are insured against loss
            in financing mortgages on housing. The homeowners (mort-
            gagors) pay the insurance premiums monthly to the mortgagees.
            HUD's Office of Finance and Accountiig procedures provide
            for annual billing of the mortgagees for premiums due on the
            mortgage anniversary dates. The proc-dures also require that
            mortgagees be notified of delinquent premiums if payment has
            not been received within 20 days after the due date. HUD
            officials said their policy is to send a letter to iortgagees
            after premiums are 60 days dalinquent stating that, if pay-
            ment is not received within 15 days, the case will be re-
            ferred to HUD's General Counsel for necessary action.

                 HUD's accounting records show that as of Februpr. 1,
            1976, about 6,400 mortgagees were delinquent in paying about
            285,000 mortgage insurance premiums amountin  to over
            $20 million. Of this amount, $8.7 million haa been delin-
            quent for 6 months or longer. Although HUD had not col-
            lected the premiums from the mortgagees, the insurance
