Download as PDF 4128 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 15 / Monday, January 24, 2011 / Notices FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yong Sun, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 5148, Washington, DC 20410–8000; telephone (202) 402–4778 (this is not a toll-free number). Individuals with speech or hearing impairments may access this number through TTY by calling the toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at (800) 877–8339. Section 224 of the Act (12 U.S.C. 1715o) provides that debentures issued under the Act with respect to an insured loan or mortgage (except for debentures issued pursuant to section 221(g)(4) of the Act) will bear interest at the rate in effect on the date the commitment to insure the loan or mortgage was issued, or the date the loan or mortgage was endorsed (or initially endorsed if there are two or more endorsements) for insurance, whichever rate is higher. This provision is implemented in HUD’s regulations at 24 CFR 203.405, 203.479, 207.259(e)(6), and 220.830. These regulatory provisions state that the applicable rates of interest will be published twice each year as a notice in the Federal Register. Section 224 further provides that the interest rate on these debentures will be set from time to time by the Secretary of HUD, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, in an amount not in excess of the annual interest rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to a statutory formula based on the average yield of all outstanding marketable Treasury obligations of maturities of 15 or more years. The Secretary of the Treasury (1) has determined, in accordance with the provisions of section 224, that the statutory maximum interest rate for the period beginning January 1, 2011, is 37⁄8 percent; and (2) has approved the establishment of the debenture interest rate by the Secretary of HUD at 37⁄8 percent for the 6-month period beginning January 1, 2011. This interest rate will be the rate borne by debentures issued with respect to any insured loan or mortgage (except for debentures issued pursuant to section 221(g)(4)) with insurance commitment or endorsement date (as applicable) within the first 6 months of 2011. For convenience of reference, HUD is publishing the following chart of debenture interest rates applicable to mortgages committed or endorsed since January 1, 1980: mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:51 Jan 21, 2011 Jkt 223001 Effective interest rate On or after 91⁄2 ...... 97⁄8 ...... 113⁄4 .... 127⁄8 .... 123⁄4 .... 101⁄4 .... 103⁄8 .... 111⁄2 .... 133⁄8 .... 115⁄8 .... 111⁄8 .... 101⁄4 .... 81⁄4 ...... 8 .......... 9 .......... 91⁄8 ...... 93⁄8 ...... 91⁄4 ...... 9 .......... 81⁄8 ...... 9 .......... 83⁄4 ...... 81⁄2 ...... 8 .......... 8 .......... 73⁄4 ...... 7 .......... 65⁄8 ...... 73⁄4 ...... 83⁄8 ...... 71⁄4 ...... 61⁄2 ...... 71⁄4 ...... 63⁄4 ...... 71⁄8 ...... 63⁄8 ...... 61⁄8 ...... 51⁄2 ...... 61⁄8 ...... 61⁄2 ...... 61⁄2 ...... 6 .......... 57⁄8 ...... 51⁄4 ...... 53⁄4 ...... 5 .......... 41⁄2 ...... 51⁄8 ...... 51⁄2 ...... 47⁄8 ...... 41⁄2 ...... 47⁄8 ...... 53⁄8 ...... 43⁄4 ...... 5 .......... 41⁄2 ...... 45⁄8 ...... 41⁄8 ...... 41⁄8 ...... 41⁄4 ...... 41⁄8 ...... 37⁄8 ......

Therefore, for all claims paid in cash on mortgages insured under section 203 or 234 of the National Housing Act and endorsed for insurance after January 23, 2004, the debenture interest rate will be the monthly average yield, for the month in which the default on the mortgage occurred, on United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of 10 years, as found in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H– 15. The Federal Housing Administration has codified this provision in HUD regulations at 24 CFR 203.405(b) and 24 CFR 203.479(b). Section 221(g)(4) of the Act provides that debentures issued pursuant to that paragraph (with respect to the assignment of an insured mortgage to the Secretary) will bear interest at the ‘‘going Federal rate’’ in effect at the time the debentures are issued. The term ‘‘going Federal rate’’ is defined to mean the interest rate that the Secretary of the Treasury determines, pursuant to a statutory formula based on the average yield on all outstanding marketable Treasury obligations of 8- to 12-year maturities, for the 6-month periods of January through June and July through December of each year. Section 221(g)(4) is implemented in the HUD regulations at 24 CFR 221.255 and 24 CFR 221.790. The Secretary of the Treasury has determined that the interest rate to be borne by debentures issued pursuant to section 221(g)(4) during the 6-month period beginning January 1, 2011, is 21⁄2 percent. The subject matter of this notice falls within the categorical exemption from HUD’s environmental clearance procedures set forth in 24 CFR 50.19(c)(6). For that reason, no environmental finding has been prepared for this notice. (Authority: Sections 211, 221, 224, National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. 1715b, 1715l, 1715o; Section 7(d), Department of HUD Act, 42 U.S.C. 3535(d).) Dated: January 12, 2011. David H.
