The properties were reviewed using information provided to HUD by Federal landholding agencies regarding unutilized and underutilized buildings and real property controlled by such agencies or by GSA regarding its inventory of excess or surplus Federal property. This Notice is also published in order to comply with the December 12, 1988 Court Order in National Coalition for the Homeless v. Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503– OG (D.D.C.). Properties reviewed are listed in this Notice according to the following categories: Suitable/available, suitable/ unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and unsuitable. The properties listed in the three suitable categories have been reviewed by the landholding agencies, and each agency has transmitted to HUD: (1) Its intention to make the property available for use to assist the homeless, (2) its intention to declare the property excess to the agency’s needs, or (3) a statement of the reasons that the property cannot be declared excess or made available for use as facilities to assist the homeless. Properties listed as suitable/available will be available exclusively for homeless use for a period of 60 days from the date of this Notice. Where property is described as for ‘‘off-site use only’’ recipients of the property will be required to relocate the building to their own site at their own expense. Homeless assistance providers interested in any such property should send a written expression of interest to HHS, addressed to Theresa Ritta, Division of Property Management, Program Support Center, HHS, Room 5B–17, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857; (301) 443–2265. (This is not a toll-free number.) HHS will mail to the interested provider an application packet, which will include instructions for completing the application. In order to maximize the opportunity to utilize a suitable property, providers should submit their written expressions of interest as soon as possible. For complete details concerning the processing of applications, the reader is encouraged to refer to the interim rule governing this program, 24 CFR part 581. For properties listed as suitable/to be excess, that property may, if subsequently accepted as excess by GSA, be made available for use by the homeless in accordance with applicable law, subject to screening for other Federal use. At the appropriate time, HUD will publish the property in a VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:18 Jul 19, 2012 Jkt 226001 Notice showing it as either suitable/ available or suitable/unavailable. For properties listed as suitable/ unavailable, the landholding agency has decided that the property cannot be declared excess or made available for use to assist the homeless, and the property will not be available. Properties listed as unsuitable will not be made available for any other purpose for 20 days from the date of this Notice. Homeless assistance providers interested in a review by HUD of the determination of unsuitability should call the toll free information line at 1– 800–927–7588 for detailed instructions or write a letter to Ann Marie Oliva at the address listed at the beginning of this Notice. Included in the request for review should be the property address (including zip code), the date of publication in the Federal Register, the landholding agency, and the property number.

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 July 1, 2012, is 15⁄8 percent. The subject matter of this notice falls within the categorical exemption from VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:18 Jul 19, 2012 Jkt 226001 HUD’s environmental clearance procedures set forth in 24 CFR 50.19(c)(6).

Federal Housing Administration under the provisions of the National 
Housing Act (the Act). The interest rate for debentures issued under 
section 221(g)(4) of the Act during the 6-month period beginning July 
1, 2012, is 1\5/8\ percent. The interest rate for debentures issued 
under any other provision of the Act is the rate in effect on the date 
that the commitment to insure the loan or mortgage was issued, or the 
date that the loan or mortgage was endorsed (or initially endorsed if 
there are two or more endorsements) for insurance, whichever rate is 
higher. The interest rate for debentures issued under these other 
provisions with respect to a loan or mortgage committed or endorsed 
during the 6-month period beginning July 1, 2012, is 2\3/4\ percent. 
However, as a result of an amendment to section 224 of the Act, if an 
insurance claim relating to a mortgage insured under sections 203 or 
234 of the Act and endorsed for insurance after January 23, 2004, is 
paid in cash, the debenture interest rate for purposes of calculating a 
claim shall be the monthly average yield, for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 224 of the National Housing 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 July 1, 2012, is 2\3/4\ percent; and (2) 
has approved the establishment of the debenture interest rate by the 
Secretary of HUD at 2\3/4\ percent for the 6-month period beginning 
July 1, 2012. 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 latter 6 
months of 2012.
    For convenience of reference, HUD is publishing the following chart 
of debenture interest rates applicable to mortgages committed or 
endorsed since January 1, 1980:

    Section 215 of Division G, Title II of Public Law 108-199, enacted 
January 23, 2004 (HUD's 2004 Appropriations Act) amended section 224 of 
the Act, to change the debenture interest rate for purposes of 
calculating certain insurance claim payments made in cash. 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 July 1, 2012, is 1\5/8\ 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: July 17, 2012.
Carol J. Galante,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
