Short Statement:
There have been no program changes to this ICR since the last submission. The Department has updated and revised its estimate of the number of residential mortgages held by plans by using information concerning non-participant loans held by plans reporting on the Form 5500 annual reports for years from 1998 through 2003. Prior to 1999, the Form 5500 required certain plans to report residential mortgage loans separately from other types of loans, but the information was required only for larger plans (more than 100 participants) and those data elements were revised for years subsequent to 1998. In order to update the data collected for 1998, the Department analyzed the aggregated information reported for subsequent years regarding loans held by plans in relation to the 1998 information and other information concerning smaller plans and plans trends for mortgage lending. As a result, the estimate of the number of respondents has been revised upwards from 420 to 1,785. The revision of this estimate includes an increase for residential mortgage loans by small plans, which were not included in the prior estimate.
