Credit Watch Termination Initiative; Termination of Direct Endorsement (DE) Approval, 38407-38408 [2011-16489]

Download as PDF 38407 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 126 / Thursday, June 30, 2011 / Notices them to FHA for insurance endorsement. The Agreement may be terminated on the basis of poor performance of FHA-insured mortgage loans originated by the mortgagee. The termination of a mortgagee’s Agreement is separate and apart from any action taken by HUD’s Mortgagee Review Board under HUD’s regulations at 24 CFR Part 25. Cause: HUD’s regulations permit HUD to terminate the Agreement with any mortgagee having a default and claim rate for loans endorsed within the preceding 24 months that exceeds 200 percent of the default and claim rate within the geographic area served by a HUD field office, and also exceeds the national default and claim rate. For the quarterly review period ending December 31, 2010, HUD is terminating the Agreement of mortgagees whose default and claim rate exceeds both the national rate and 200 percent of the field office rate. Effect: Termination of the Agreement precludes branch(es) of the mortgagee from originating FHA-insured singlefamily mortgages within the area of the HUD field office(s) listed in this notice. Mortgagees authorized to purchase, hold, or service FHA-insured mortgages may continue to do so. Loans that closed or were approved before the termination became effective may be submitted for insurance endorsement. Approved loans are those already underwritten and approved by a DE underwriter, and cases covered by a firm commitment issued by HUD. Cases at earlier stages of processing cannot be submitted for insurance by the terminated branch; however, they may be transferred for completion of processing and underwriting to another FHA-insured mortgagee with direct endorsement approval for the area covered by the termination. Mortgagees are obligated to continue to pay existing insurance premiums and meet all other obligations associated with insured mortgages. A terminated mortgagee may apply for reinstatement of the Origination Approval Agreement if the approval for the affected branch or branches has been terminated for at least six months and the mortgagee continues to be an approved mortgagee meeting the requirements of 24 CFR 202.5, 202.6, 202.7, 202.8 and 202.12. However, Mortgagee Letter 2010–20 and Final Rule 5356–F–02 at 24 CFR Part 202 eliminates FHA approval for loan correspondents after December 31, 2010. Therefore, HUD will not accept requests for reinstatement from loan correspondents after that date. The mortgagee’s application for reinstatement must be in a format prescribed by the Secretary and signed by the mortgagee. In addition, the application must be accompanied by an independent analysis of the terminated office’s operations as well as its mortgage production, specifically including the FHA-insured mortgages cited in its termination notice. This independent analysis shall identify the underlying cause for the mortgagee’s high default and claim rate. The analysis must be prepared by an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) qualified to perform audits under Government Auditing Standards as provided by the Government Accountability Office. The mortgagee must also submit a written corrective action plan to address each of the issues identified in the CPA’s report, along with evidence that the plan has been implemented. The application for a new Agreement should be in the form of a letter, accompanied by the CPA’s report and corrective action plan. The request should be sent to the Director, Office of Lender Activities and Program Compliance, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room B133–P3214, Washington, DC 20410–8000 or by courier to 490 L’Enfant Plaza, East, SW., Suite 3214, Washington, DC 20024–8000.

mortgagees which have had their DE Approval terminated.

terminating Underwriting Authority of Direct Endorsement mortgagees.
    Termination of Direct Endorsement Approval: Approval of a DE 
mortgagee by HUD/FHA authorizes the mortgagee to underwrite single 
family mortgage loans and submit them to FHA for insurance endorsement. 
The Approval may be terminated on the basis of poor performance of FHA-
insured mortgage loans underwritten by the mortgagee. The termination 
of a mortgagee's DE Approval is separate and apart from any action 
taken by HUD's Mortgagee Review Board under HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 
part 25.
    Cause: HUD's regulations permit HUD to terminate the DE Approval 
with any mortgagee having a default and claim rate for loans endorsed 
within the preceding 24 months that exceeds 200 percent of the default 
and claim rate within the geographic area served by a HUD field office, 
and also exceeds the national default and claim rate. For the quarterly 
review period ending December 31, 2010, HUD is terminating the DE 
Approval of mortgagees whose default and claim rate exceeds both the 
national rate and 200 percent of the field office rate.
    Effect: Termination of the DE Approval precludes the mortgagee from 
underwriting FHA-insured single-family mortgages within the area of the 
HUD field office(s) listed in this notice. Mortgagees authorized to 
purchase, hold, or service FHA-insured mortgages may continue to do so.
    Loans that closed or were approved before the Termination became 
effective may be submitted for insurance endorsement. Approved loans 
are those already underwritten and approved by a DE underwriter, and 
cases covered by a firm commitment issued by HUD. Cases at earlier 
stages of processing cannot be submitted for insurance by the 
terminated mortgagee; however, the cases may be transferred for 
completion of processing and underwriting to another mortgagee with DE 
Approval in that area. Mortgagees are obligated to continue to pay 
existing insurance premiums and meet all other obligations associated 
with insured mortgages.
    A terminated mortgagee may apply for reinstatement of the DE 
Approval if the DE Approval for the affected area or areas has been 
terminated for at least six months and the mortgagee continues to be an 
approved mortgagee meeting the requirements of 24 CFR 202.5, 202.6, 
202.7, 202.10 and 202.12. The mortgagee's application for reinstatement 
must be in a format prescribed by the Secretary and signed by the 
mortgagee. In addition, the application must be accompanied by an 
independent analysis of the terminated office's operations as well as 
its mortgage production, specifically including the FHA-insured 
mortgages cited in its termination notice. This independent analysis 
shall identify the underlying cause for the mortgagee's high default 
and claim rate. The analysis must be prepared by an independent 
Certified Public Accountant (CPA) qualified to perform audits under 
Government Auditing Standards as provided by the Government 
Accountability Office. The mortgagee must also submit a written 
corrective action plan to address each of the issues identified in the 
CPA's report, along with evidence that the plan has been implemented. 
The application for a new Agreement should be in the form of a letter, 
accompanied by the CPA's report and corrective action plan. The request 
should be sent to the Director, Office of Lender Activities and Program 
Compliance, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room B133-P3214, Washington, DC
