This notice also lists the following information: Title of Proposal: Legal Instructions Concerning Applications for Full Insurance Benefits—Assignment of Multifamily Mortgage to the Secretary.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 41197 Mortgagees of HUD-insured mortgages may receive mortgage insurance benefits upon assignment of mortgages to HUD. In connection with the assignment, legal documents (e.g., mortgage, mortgage note, security agreement, title insurance policy) must be submitted to the Department. The instructions describe the documents to be submitted and the procedures for submission. HUD has made the following revisions to the Legal Instructions Concerning Applications for Full Insurance Benefits—Assignment of Multifamily Mortgage to the Secretary (the ‘‘Legal Instructions’’): Part A, item 1—removed the reference to ‘‘the model form of assignment’’ and replaced it with ‘‘the requisite language below’’ since there is not a model form of assignment. Part B, first paragraph—revised second sentence to add ‘‘or debentures’’ to indicate that one 15-day extension of the deadline for claims is applicable for claims paid in cash or debentures. Part B, item 1—‘‘(insert the unpaid balance as of the date of assignment)’’ has been changed to ‘‘[insert the unpaid balance as of the date of assignment]’’ as this language is instructive and should not appear within the actual endorsement on the Note. Also, ‘‘note’’ was changed to ‘‘Note’’ within the requisite language, since the references are to the promissory Note. Part B, item 2—removed ‘‘, certified by the recording official’’ as this language was redundant. Also, revised the requisite Indemnification Agreement language for consistency with the form of Indemnification Agreement in Part B, item 1, to read as follows: [Insert name of the mortgagee] agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and his/her successors and assigns against any loss, costs, or charges whatsoever, including attorney’s fees, which may be sustained by the Secretary as a result of the failure of the mortgagee to furnish an original copy of [insert description of document].’’ Part B, item 4—removed ‘‘, if recorded’’ at the end of the first sentence, as this language was redundant. Part B, item 5—revised the first sentence to read as follows, for clarity: ‘‘The original security agreement/chattel mortgage, or a certified copy. All certifications must be made by the recording official.’’ Also revised the second sentence to remove the sample Indemnification Agreement provision and cross-reference instead to Part B, item 2. Part B, item 7—revised the first sentence to read as follows, for clarity: ‘‘Original interim assignments of the E:\FR\FM\12JYN1.SGM 12JYN1
