Type of Request: Approval of a new collection of information. Form Number: N/A. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This notice advises of FHA’s review and proposed revisions to the Single Family Model Forward Mortgage document. The majority of the proposed changes are conforming or technical in nature (e.g., correction of internal references and typographical errors). Included in this category is the proposed change to Section 19. As provided in FHA’s Instructions for Model Mortgages (located at https:// portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/ program_offices/housing/sfh/model_ documents) the FHA Model Forward Mortgage document is based largely on the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal National Mortgage Association (the ‘‘Government Sponsored Enterprises’’ or ‘‘GSEs’’) security instrument covenants, with certain FHA-specific revisions. When incorporating the GSE covenants into the Model Forward Mortgage document, the second paragraph of Section 19 was unintentionally omitted, but reference VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:04 Nov 22, 2016 Jkt 241001 to that paragraph was retained in the section heading, resulting in an apparent internal discrepancy in the Model Forward Mortgage. Because the omission of this paragraph was not identified as an FHA-Specific Modification (as that term is used in the Instructions for Model Mortgages), mortgagees have been free to adopt the analogous GSE covenant provision to resolve this discrepancy. Therefore, although the proposed change to Section 19 appear substantive, it should bring the Model Forward Mortgage into closer conformity with current FHAinsured mortgages and industry standard. In addition to these technical changes, FHA is proposing one set of substantive changes to the Model Forward Mortgage, reflected in the judicial and non-judicial versions of Section 22 (hereinafter ‘‘Sections 22’’) and Section 20. Prior to the September, 2014 publication of the current Model Forward Mortgage, the former Model Forward Mortgage contained the following provision: ‘‘[i]n many circumstances regulations issued by the Secretary will limit Lender rights, in the case of payment defaults, to require immediate payment in full and foreclose if not paid. This Security Instrument does not authorize acceleration or foreclosure if not permitted by regulations of the Secretary.’’ (hereinafter ‘‘Paragraph 9(d)’’). Because Paragraph 9(d) is not serve to again further this goal. The Department is also proposing a revision to Section 20, which generally provides that the borrower is not a third-party beneficiary to the contract of mortgage insurance between the lender and FHA. Legally, FHA borrowers have never been deemed third-party beneficiaries of the mortgage insurance contract between FHA and the mortgagee, and therefore, have had no authority to enforce any provisions thereof. However, as reflected in the proposed changes to Sections 22, the borrower and lender will enjoy contractual rights and obligations under the private mortgage contract that happen to mirror elements of the mortgage insurance contract because they both separately rely on HUD’s regulations. By asserting rights under the private mortgage contract, even those that incorporate elements of the regulations forming the mortgage insurance contract, borrowers would not be enforcing the contract of mortgage insurance and FHA regulations as such, but rather enforcing the private contractual terms incorporated into the mortgage contract that mirror those regulations. PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 84609 While aiming to clearly delineate the lines between the private mortgage contract and the contract of mortgage insurance through the language contained in Section 20, the Department does not wish to cause any confusion concerning the borrower’s ability to enforce his or her rights that have been granted through the incorporation of certain regulatory provisions. Therefore, for clarity, the Department is proposing a revision to Section 20 that eliminates any confusion regarding the borrower’s ability to assert rights under the private mortgage contract with the mortgagee as provided in the proposed changes to Section 22. The proposed revision to Section 20 does not jeopardize the settled fact that borrowers are not thirdparty beneficiaries of the mortgage insurance contract and do not have the authority to enforce any provisions thereof. This is a consequence of wellestablished legal principals governing contractual relationships and private, which will remain unchanged not with standing the proposed revision. HUD expects, therefore, that the proposed change renders Section 20 more apparently consistent with the proposed changes to Sections 22, but does not intend to create third-party rights under the mortgage insurance contract.

    Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
    This notice advises of FHA's review and proposed revisions to the 
Single Family Model Forward Mortgage document. The majority of the 
proposed changes are conforming or technical in nature (e.g., 
correction of internal references and typographical errors). Included 
in this category is the proposed change to Section 19. As provided in 
FHA's Instructions for Model Mortgages (located at https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/sfh/model_documents) the FHA Model Forward Mortgage document is based 
largely on the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal 
National Mortgage Association (the ``Government Sponsored Enterprises'' 
or ``GSEs'') security instrument covenants, with certain FHA-specific 
revisions. When incorporating the GSE covenants into the Model Forward 
Mortgage document, the second paragraph of Section 19 was 
unintentionally omitted, but reference to that paragraph was retained

    The Department is also proposing a revision to Section 20, which 
generally provides that the borrower is not a third-party beneficiary 
to the contract of mortgage insurance between the lender and FHA. 
Legally, FHA borrowers have never been deemed third-party beneficiaries 
of the mortgage insurance contract between FHA and the mortgagee, and 
therefore, have had no authority to enforce any provisions thereof. 
However, as reflected in the proposed changes to Sections 22, the

contract that mirror those regulations.
    While aiming to clearly delineate the lines between the private 
mortgage contract and the contract of mortgage insurance through the 
language contained in Section 20, the Department does not wish to cause 
any confusion concerning the borrower's ability to enforce his or her 
rights that have been granted through the incorporation of certain 
regulatory provisions. Therefore, for clarity, the Department is 
proposing a revision to Section 20 that eliminates any confusion

Section 20 more apparently consistent with the proposed changes to 
Sections 22, but does not intend to create third-party rights under the 
mortgage insurance contract.
