The information collection establishes
the criteria for defining late requests for endorsement for initial
submissions and reconsiderations. When submitting a late request
for endorsement, a lender must certify that the borrower's mortgage
payments are current and made within the month due, all escrows are
current, and no payments were made by the lender to affect an
acceptable payment history.
This is a reinstatement with
change of a previously approved collection. A proposed rule
reinstates this collection of information. In 2005 FHA discontinued
the requirement for a payment history or ledger to be submitted
with the case binder. FHA decided to rely on the certification
provided by the lender. While mortgagees were still bound by
requirements for submitting for insurance under FHAs late
endorsement procedures it was determined that a separate
certification did not add value as an adequate risk control
measure. The information collection was then discontinued. The
proposed rule makes changes to the previous requirements.
