Privacy Act Statement: HUD is authorized to collect this information by Executive Order 9397. The Housing & Community Development Act of 1987,
42 U.S.C. 3543 authorizes the mandatory collection of the Social Security Number (SSN). HUD will use the information collected to determine the eligibility
of program participants to participate or continue to participate in the HUD's programs. The names and SSN's are used to obtain positive identification
of the officers and directors who have the authority to obligate the Lender. You must provide all of the information requested, including the SSN's of
appropriate officers and directors. HUD may disclose this information to Federal, State and local agencies when relevant to civil, criminal, or regulatory
investigations and prosecutions. It will not be other wise disclosed or released outside of HUD, except as required and permitted by law. Failure to provide
any of the required information may result in a delay or disapproval of participation in HUD's programs.
Public Reporting Burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency
may not collect this information, and you are not required to complete this form, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The information requested on this form is required by 24 CFR Part 202 and Sec. 306(g) of the National Housing Act or by HUD Handbooks 4060.1, 5500.1,
and 5500.2. The information collected assists FHA and Ginnie Mae in determining which lenders should be approved to participate in the FHA single
and multifamily insurance programs and/or the Ginnie Mae Mortgaged-Backed Securities Program. It is used to help FHA minimize its risk in insuring
single-family and multifamily mortgages and Ginnie Mae to minimize its risk. Applicants are not required to respond to this collection of information unless
a currently valid approved OMB control number is displayed on the form.
