AGENCY: On July 15, 2010, HUD issued a notice seeking comment on three initiatives that HUD proposed would contribute to the restoration of the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund (MMIF) capital reserve account. This document is limited to implementation of HUD’s proposal to introduce a minimum credit score threshold and reduce the maximum LTV. At the end of the public comment period on August 16, 2010, HUD received 902 comments. The overwhelming majority of these comments focused on HUD’s proposal to cap seller concessions. HUD is continuing to review and consider the issues raised by commenters on capping seller concessions as well as those pertaining to HUD’s proposal to tighten manual underwriting guidelines. HUD’s final decision on these two proposals will be addressed separately. DATES: Effective Date: October 4, 2010.

Background—HUD’s July 15, 2010 Notice On July 15, 2010, at 75 FR 41217, HUD issued a proposed rule seeking comment on three initiatives that HUD proposed would contribute to the restoration of the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund (MMIF) capital reserve account. The proposed changes were developed to preserve both the historical role of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) in providing a home financing vehicle during periods of economic volatility and HUD’s social mission of helping underserved borrowers. In the July 15, 2010, notice, HUD proposed the following: To reduce the amount of closing costs a seller may pay on behalf of a homebuyer purchasing a home with FHA-insured mortgage financing for the purposes of calculating the maximum mortgage amount; to introduce a credit score threshold as well as reduce the maximum loan-to-value (LTV) for borrowers with lower credit scores who represent a higher risk of default and mortgage insurance claim; and to tighten underwriting standards for mortgage loan transactions that are manually underwritten. A recently issued independent actuarial study shows that the MMIF capital ratio has fallen below its statutorily mandated threshold.1 1 On November 13, 2009, HUD released an independent actuarial study that reported that FHA will likely sustain significant losses from mortgage loans made prior to 2009, due to the high concentration of seller-financed downpayment assistance mortgage loans and declining real estate values nationwide, and that the MMIF capital reserve relative to the amount of outstanding insurance in force had fallen below the statutorily mandated 2 percent ratio. The capital reserve account serves as a back-up fund, where FHA holds additional capital to cover unexpected losses. The capital ratio generally reflects the reserves available (net of expected claims and expenses), as a PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Sponsor 000986 Consistent with HUD’s responsibility under the National Housing Act to ensure that the MMIF remains financially sound, HUD published the July 15, 2010 document and sought public comment on the three proposals described above designed to address features of FHA mortgage insurance that have resulted in high mortgage insurance claim rates and present an unacceptable risk of loss to FHA. Over the past two years, the volume of FHA insurance has increased rapidly as private sources of mortgage finance retreated from the market. FHA’s share of the single-family mortgage market today is approximately 30 percent—up from 3 percent in 2007, and the dollar volume of insurance written has jumped from the $56 billion issued in that year to more than $300 billion in 2009. The growth in the MMIF portfolio over such a short period of time coincided with worsening economic conditions that have seen high levels of defaults and foreclosures, and consequently unacceptable risks of loss to the MMIF. Given these conditions and concerns, FHA, in managing the MMIF, must be especially vigilant in monitoring the performance of the portfolio, enhancing risk controls, and tightening standards to address portions of the business that expose homeowners to excessive financial risks. FHA’s authorizing statute, the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), envisions that FHA will adjust program standards and practices, as necessary, to operate the MMIF, with reasonable expectations of financial loss. Within the past year, FHA has adjusted several program standards and practices so that the MMIF is preserved and FHA is operating the MMIF with acceptable risks of financial loss, not unacceptable risks.2 percentage of the current portfolio, to address unexpected losses. The report can be found at: https://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/ fhafy09annualmanagementreport.pdf. 2 While the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 requires that FHA (and all other government credit agencies) estimate and budget for the anticipated cost of mortgage loan guarantees, the National E:\FR\FM\03SER1.SGM 03SER1

medicated articles to formulate two-way combination drug Type C 
medicated feeds for cattle fed in confinement for slaughter. Elanco 
Animal Health also filed a supplement to NADA 141-224 that provides for 
use of OPTAFLEXX (ractopamine hydrochloride), RUMENSIN (monensin, USP), 
and TYLAN (tylosin phosphate) Type A medicated articles to formulate 
three-way combination drug Type C medicated feeds for cattle fed in 
confinement for slaughter.
    The supplemental NADAs provide for administering ractopamine 
hydrochloride Type C medicated feeds as a top dress on Type C medicated 
feeds containing monensin, USP, or monensin, USP, and tylosin phosphate 
to cattle fed in confinement for slaughter as the means by which the 
two-way or three-way combinations will be created. Supplemental NADA 
141-224 is approved as of June 7, 2010; supplemental NADA 141-225 is
