A. Justification
1. Why is this information necessary? Identify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate the collection. Attach a copy of the appropriate section of each statute and regulation mandating/authorizing the collection of information.
Ginnie Mae is a wholly-owned corporation of the United States within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Its powers are prescribed generally by Title III of the National Housing Act, as mended, 12 U.S.C. 1716 et.seq. Ginnie Mae is authorized by Section 306(g) of the National Housing Act to guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest on securities which are based on or backed by a pool composed of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Rural Housing Service. Ginnie Mae’s guaranty of mortgage-backed securities is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The information being collected is necessary in order for Ginnie Mae to be able to properly administer its Mortgage-Backed Securities programs.
2. How is the information collected and how is the information to be used?
Ginnie Mae’s Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide 5500.3, Revision 1 ("Guide") provides instructions and guidance to participants in the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities programs ("Ginnie Mae I and Ginnie Mae II"). Participants are organizations (mortgage companies, banks, etc.) that have been approved by Ginnie Mae to issue Ginnie Mae securities. Participants in the Ginnie Mae I program issue securities backed by single-family or multifamily loans. Participants in the Ginnie Mae II program issue securities backed by single-family loans. Ginnie Mae II MBS are modified pass-through mortgage-backed securities on which registered holders receive an aggregate principal and interest payment from a central paying agent on all of their Ginnie Mae II MBS. The Ginnie Mae II MBS also allow small issuers who do not meet the minimum dollar pool requirements of the Ginnie Mae I MBS to participate in the secondary mortgage market. In addition, the Ginnie Mae II MBS permit the securitization of adjustable rate mortgages ("ARMs"). Any requirement in a document created under a Ginnie Mae MBS program is effective as of the date of the Guide, including amendments. Included in the Guide are Appendices. The Appendices include the forms or documents needed to comply with program requirements. Below are the required forms or data collected to participate in the MBS programs.
The following describes how, by whom, how frequently, and for what purpose the information is to be used. The forms are available in a PDF fillable format unless stated otherwise on our website at www.ginniemae.gov.

2E. Form HUD 11700/Appendix II-1/ Letter of Transmittal for Commitment Authority and/or Pool Numbers
This is a multifunctional transmittal form which is completed by the issuer when requesting commitment authority and/or pool numbers. The frequency of use depends on the issuer's need for specific services from Ginnie Mae. When requesting only pool numbers, the issuer only needs to complete the HUD 11700 form. When requesting commitment authority, the isuser has to prepare the HUD 11700 and the HUD 11704.
A issuer can request both commitment authority and pool numbers within one request. If the issuer has available pool numbers, but lacks a sufficient amount of commiment authority necessary to form pools, the issuer can apply for Commitment Authority only. An issuer may need to apply for Ginnie Mae Pool Numbers only. This is done when an issuer has sufficient commitment authority available for use, but needs pool numbers. There is no fee for requesting pool numbers.
There are two types of Commitment Authority a Ginne Mae issuer may apply for: 1) Single Family or Single Line Commitment Authority which expires one year from date of approval and 2) Multifamily or Multi-Line Commtment Authoirty which expires two years from date of approval.
There are three types of Pool Numbers a Ginnie Mae issuer may apply for: 1) Standard Pool Numbers, 2) Graduated Payment/Growing Equity Pool Numbers and 3) Adjustable Rate Pool Numbers.
Pool Numbers have no expiration date and can only be used once. The information is required by Section 306(g) of the National Housing Act or by Ginnie Mae Handbook 5500.3, Rev. 1.
It is estimated that it will take 2 minute for issuers to review and complete.
This form is used by Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issuers to apply for commitment authority to guarantee mortgage-backed securities. Upon receipt of the form, a Ginnie Mae Account Executive in the Office of MBS reviews the application along with the request form HUD 11700, "Letter of Transmittal for Commitment Authority and/or Pool Numbers”. If the request is approved, a Ginnie Mae Account Executive signs the form HUD 11704 and returns it to the issuer, along with a computer generated confirmation notice. The approval of this form serves as a receipt and the commitment from Ginnie Mae to guarantee the securities which are backed by Ginnie Mae mortgage pools. All issuers must meet Ginnie Mae's basic eligibility requirements to receive commitment authority. Ginnie Mae keeps a copy of this form to mainatin records of all types of commitment authority granted. The information is required by Section 306(g) of the National Housing Act or by Ginnie Mae Handbook 5500.3, Rev. 1.

Ginnie Mae forms HUD 11707, 11709, 11715, and 11720 are Ginnie Mae Master Agreements. These documents, prepared by issuers, eliminate the redundant and repetitive use of the same forms each time an issuer requests that a new Ginnie Mae security be issued. The Master Agreements are the foundation for the paperless pools. They define the relationships and responsibilities of the issuer, the issuer’s subservicer and the issuer’s document custodian. The information on the forms is stored electronically in Ginnie Mae’s GinnieNet system.
The form is completed by the issuer to provide assurance to Ginnie Mae that servicing of the mortgages backing the securities approved for issuance will be performed in accordance with acceptable standards of mortgage servicing. The form is used by Ginnie Mae’s pool processing agent to determine if the issuer of the pool is the sole servicer, or if the issuer has established a sub-contract servicing arrangement with another institution to perform certain servicing functions on behalf of the issuer. If the issuer chooses to use a sub-servicer, the sub-contract servicer must be an approved Ginnie Mae issuer.

The request is estimated to take five (5) minutes. The information is required by Ginnie Mae
Handbook 5500.3, Rev. 1.
2ll. Appendix XI-2/ Supervisory Agreement
This Supervisory Agreement is entered into by and between the issuer and Ginnie Mae. The Agreement
is as a direct result of the effects of a presidential declared disaster described in the MBS Guide. The Agreement may be used by Issuers when they are unable to make the full payments due to the holders of the mortgage-backed securities backed by the mortgage pools and request that Ginnie Mae advance certain payments to security holders in accordance with the terms of the APM. Issuers are expected to repay Ginnie Mae the advancement of payment based on the terms in the Agreement.
The request is estimated to takes five (5) minutes to complete the form including reviewing the instructions.
The information is required by Ginnie Mae Handbook 5500.3, Rev. 1.
Ginnie Mae collects Financial Statements and Audit Reports annually from each issuer participating
in the MBS program. The financial statements and reports must be audited and certified by an
Independent Auditor that meets the auditor qualifications set out in Chapters 1, 2, and 6 of the Consolidated
Audit Guide for Audits of HUD programs. The financial statements must include a balance sheet, statement of operations and cash flows, prepared in accordance to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Government Auditing Standards (GAS). On occasion, Ginnie Mae will request the issuer to submit internally prepared balance sheets and income statements to verify an issuer’s net worth.
Appendix IX-1 is now reserved and provides a direct link to the Consolidated Guide of Audits of HUD Programs.
Issuers are required to submit their audited financial statement and accompanying reports to Ginnie Mae within 90 days after the end of their fiscal year. The information is required by Ginnie Mae Handbook 5500,3., Rev. 1 and the Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs, Handbook No. IG 2000.04, Rev. 2 (Chapters 1,2, and 6). The financial statement is estimated to take an hour to prepare.
.
Ginnie Mae permits issuers to submit their parent’s consolidated audited financial statements along
with consolidating schedules that reflect the financial condition of the Ginnie Mae in lieu of the issuer submitting their own audited financial statements and reports annually. However, where the Issuer’s
equity is less than 40 percent of its parent, Ginnie Mae requires that the parent execute a Corporate Guaranty Agreement guarantee the performance of the issuer to ensure that the issuer maintains Ginnie Mae’s required minimum financial net worth.
Based on its review of the submitted audited financial information Ginnie Mae will determine whether a Corporate Guaranty Agreement is required. If it is determined that a Corporate Guaranty Agreement is needed, Ginnie Mae will supply the Corporate Guaranty Agreement to issuers/applicants for completion.
Execution of the Corporate Guaranty Agreement does not relieve the issuer of its responsibility to comply with all other reporting requirements found in Section 6-4 of the HUD Consolidated Audit for Audits of HUD Programs, HUD Handbook 2000.04, Rev. 2.
The Corporate Guaranty Agreement takes an estimated five (5) minutes to complete, including reviewing the document and signing. The information is required by Ginnie Mae Handbook 5500.3, Rev. 1.
In addition to issuers filing annual audited financial statements, Ginnie Mae requires each issuer that is not regulated by FDIC, OTC, National Credit Union Association, or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is required to submit quarterly, unaudited financial statements. This information is submitted electronically, and it can be accessed via WebMB @ www.mbfrf.org. This information, in conjunction with other documents, is used to review and analyze an issuer’s current financial status to obtain certain benefits of the MBS program.
It is estimated to take ten (10) minutes for completion of the form. The information is required by
Ginnie Mae Handbook 5500.3, Rev. 1.
2pp. Data Verification Form
Issuers are required to inform us when there are changes to the names of our contact persons, address,
or phone numbers. To ensure that we have the most accurate information, Ginnie Mae, semiannually, requests issuers to update their contact information for its records.
It is estimated to two (2) minutes for completion of the report. The information is required by Ginnie
Mae Handbook 5500.3, Rev. 1.
2qq. Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust (WHFIT)
In order to comply with the IRS WHFIT tax reporting requirement, Issuers are to submit three months of tax information once every quarter. Issuers submit this information electronically with a standard file layout in accordance with the IRS regulation, Ginnie Mae publishes this data on Ginnie Mae’s Tax and Factor reporting website.
It is estimated to eight (8) minutes for completion of the report. The information is required by Ginnie
Mae Handbook 5500.3, Rev. 1.
3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information is automated. If it’s not automated, explain why not. Also describe any other efforts to reduce burden.
Ginnie Mae has implemented automated and electronic means of submitting most of its collection of information in order to minimize burden. GinnieNET is used by the issuers and document custodians to collect and retrieve information as it relates to pool processing. It is also use for the reporting of remaining principal balances to Ginnie Mae. Ginnie Mae participants must their monthly report of pool and loan level data via the RFS Module in Ginnie Mae’s portal. All such pool and loan level reporting is electronic.
Currently, forms HUD 11700, 11701, 11702, 11704, 11707, 11709, 11709A, 11715, 11720, financial statements, and audit reports are not required to be submitted electronically. However, the forms can be downloaded from HUDClips or Ginnie Mae’s website. All applicable forms are now fillable online. The fillable forms are accepted via fax or e-mail after the issuer completes them, except for those forms that require original signatures.
GinnieNET is a web-based system that is used by Ginnie Mae issuers, Document Custodian, and Ginnie Mae’s Pool Processing Agent to process pools, certifications, and electronic reporting. Issuers may certify, recertify pools and /or make corrections using GinnieNET. The following forms are submitted using GinnieNET: 11705, 11706, 11708, 11709A, 11711B, 11714, 11714SN, 11715, and 11732. In addition, to the above listed forms, the information pertaining to the Master Agreements (11707, 11709, 11715, and 11720) are stored electronically in GinnieNET and are to be certified annually. On a monthly basis the 11710D and Reporting of Principal Balances is done through GinnieNET.
Ginnie Mae Enterprise Wide Portal
The Ginnie Mae portal provides access to several applications, which include the Reporting and Feedback System, Monthly Pool and Loan Reporting, Exception Feedback, Servicemember’s Civil Relief Act, Contact Management and Enotification.
4. Describe efforts to identify duplication. Show specifically why any similar information already available cannot be used or modified for use for the purpose described in Item 2 above.
The collection contains no duplication of information.
5. Does the collection of information impact small businesses or other small entities? Describe any methods used to minimize burden.
There is no significant economic impact on small businesses or entities through the collection of the information. The forms are designed to minimize burden, and Ginnie Mae is constantly reviewing its forms and processes to see how the forms and/or processes can streamlined to further minimize burden.
Describe the consequence to Federal program or policy activities if the collection is not conducted or is conducted less frequently, as well as any technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden.
Ginnie Mae is a wholly-owned corporation of the United States within the Department of Housing and Urban Development whose guaranty of mortgage-backed securities is back by the full faith and credit of the United States. As such, the information required from issuers is necessary for Ginnie Mae to issue mortgage-backed securities as each security is unique and determined by the information provided on the forms received from the issuers. The collections permit Ginnie Mae to verify: 1) the individuals who are signing documents on behalf of an issuer are authorized to do so; 2) the name and location of the entities responsible for the various Ginnie Mae accounts and mortgage documents, and 3) those entities who are responsible for servicing the mortgages that back the Ginnie Mae pools. Ginnie Mae needs this information to mitigate risk and evaluate its business operations, procedures and programs. Ginnie Mae also requires the collection of information to ensure that there are no deficiencies, which could affect the pass through of securities to its investors.
7. Explain any special circumstances requiring:
respondents to report information more than quarterly;
a written response in fewer than 30;
more than an original and two copies of any document;
respondents to retain records other than health, medical, government contract, grant-in-aid, or tax records for more than three years;
a statistical survey not designed to produce results than can be generalized to the universe of study;
the use of a statistical data classification that has not been reviewed and approved by OMB;
a pledge of confidentiality that is not supported by authority established in statute or regulation, that is not supported by disclosure and data security policies that are consistent with the pledge, or which unnecessarily impedes sharing of data with other agencies for compatible confidential use; or
respondents to submit proprietary trade secret, or other confidential information.
The majority of Ginnie Mae’s forms require issuers to submit only one original with a copy being retained by the issuer for their records.
Issuers are required to submit duplicate originals of the form HUD 11702 – Resolution of Board of Directors and Certificate of Authorized Signatures in order for Ginnie Mae or its pool processing agent to compare the names and signatures of the individuals authorized by the issuer to do business with Ginnie Mae.
When issuers submit their pool requests in paper format – the form 11705 – Schedule of Subscribers must he currently submitted in quadruplicate. Issuer retains an unexecuted copy for their files and submits three originals to the pool processing agent. Once the pool has been approved by Ginnie Mae or its agent, Ginnie Mae retains one original for its records and returns the other two signed originals to the issuer.
Issuers must submit two originals of the Pool Advance Agreement – Appendix VI-1 – which provides an agreement to cover shortfalls in an issuer’s principal and interest funds. After the agreement has been executed by Ginnie Mae, Ginnie Mae will retain one original for its files and return the other original to the issuer for its records.
When issuers execute any of the following forms: Pledge of Servicing, Transfer Agreements, or Assignment Agreements, they are required to submit three forms with original signatures to either Ginnie Mae or its pool processing agent for review and approval. When approved, an executed original is retained by Ginnie Mae or the pool processing agent for its records. The remaining executed originals are returned to the issuer.
To remain in compliance with Ginnie Mae’s program requirements and obtain certain benefits, issuers are required to submit financial information monthly, quarterly, and annually in order for Ginnie Mae or its agents to monitor their Ginnie Mae portfolio and financial status. As part of this requirement, issuers are to maintain adequate accounting records in electronic format and hard copy to submit to Ginnie Mae or its agents as needed.
Forms/information required to be submitted monthly are as follows:
11714 – Issuer’s Monthly Remittance Advice
11714SN – Issuer’s Monthly Serial Note Remittance Advice;
Monthly Report of Pool and Loan data
11710 D Monthly Summary Report
Reporting Principal Balance
Forms/information required to be submitted quarterly are as follows:
XI-6 – Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act (SCRA) Loan Eligibility Information;
XI-8 –SCRA Quarterly Reimbursement Request, and Mortgage-Bankers Financial Reporting Form (for non-regulated/supervised issuers only)
VI-18 – WHFIT Tax Reporting File Layout
Custodial Account Verification
Forms/information required to be submitted annually are as follows:
IX-1 – Financial Statements and Audit Reports
Master Agreements (forms 11702, 11707, 11709, 11715, and 11720) – may be certified electronically unless a change to company or personnel has occurred
8. Identify the date and page number of the Federal Register notice (and provide a copy) soliciting comments on the information. Summarize public comments and describe actions taken by the agency in response to these comments. Describe all efforts to consult with persons outside the agency to obtain their.
The attached solicitation for comments was in the Federal Register dated Wednesday, March 17, 2010, Volume 75, No. 51 pages 12773-12775. No comments were received. On an on-going basis, Ginnie Mae meets with its business partners to discuss new policy, new programs and enhancements to its business processes (which include data collected from issuers), for the purpose of seeking industry input before implementation. This is done formally and informally in several arenas, through the Mortgage Bankers Association’s Ginnie Mae Liaison Committee meetings, which are held three times a year, regular issuer training sessions conducted by Ginnie Mae, and yearly on-site issuer field visits performed by Ginnie Mae account executives.
9. Explain any payments or gifts to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.
There are no payments or gifts other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.
10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents and the basis for assurance in statute, regulation or agency policy.
The forms are in compliance with the Privacy Act. The information collected contains no personal or organizational identifiers.
11. Justify any questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private
The information collected contains no questions of a sensitive nature, therefore, no justification is required.
12. Estimate public burden: number of respondents, frequency of response, annual hour burden. Read the complete instructions on the form 83i. Explain how the burden was estimated. Generally estimates should not include burden hours for customary and usual business practices. Provide a table to describe the elements of the burden. Break out each form used.
if this collection uses more than one form, provide separate estimates for each form and aggregate the hour burdens in item 13 of OMB Form 83i; and
provide estimates of annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens for collections of information, identifying and using appropriate wage rate categories.
The cost of contracting out or paying outside parties for information collection activities should not be included here. Instead this cost should be included in Item 13.
There are approximately 22 forms and 33 appendices included with this submission. In the event that there are more than 10 respondents, the collection will be PRA compliant. Some forms and appendices included in this submission will be removed upon approval of the collection and the implementation of RFS.
The cost to respondents is based on the average hourly wages of mortgage industry employees to review, collect and submit the information to Ginnie Mae or its agent
Calculation is as follows:
$27.00 per hour x total burden hours = Estimated cost to respondents/issuers.

13. Provide an estimate of the total annual cost burden to respondents or record keepers resulting from the collection of information (do not include the cost of any hour burden shown in Items 12 and 14).
The cost estimate should be split into two components: (a) a total capital and start-up cost component (annualized over its expected useful life); and (b) a total operation and maintenance purchase of services component. The estimates should take into account costs associated with generating, maintaining, and disclosing or providing the information. Include descriptions of methods used to estimate major cost factors including system and technology acquisition, expected useful life of capital equipment, the discount rate(s) and the time period over which costs will be incurred. Capital and start-up costs include, among other items, preparations for collecting information such as purchasing computers and software; monitoring, sampling, drilling and testing equipment; and record storage facilities;
If cost estimates are expected to vary widely, agencies should present ranges of cost burdens and explain the reasons for the variance. The cost of purchasing or contracting out information collection services should be a part of this cost burden estimate. In developing cost burden estimates, agencies may consult with a sample of respondents (fewer than 10) utilize the 60-day pre-OMB submission public comment process and use existing economic or regulatory impact analysis associated with the rulemaking containing the information collection, as appropriate.
generally, estimates should not include purchases of equipment or services, or portions thereof made: (1) prior to October 1, 1995, (2) to achieve regulatory compliance with requirements not associated with the information collection, (3) for reasons other than to provide information or keep records for the government, or (4) as part of customary and usual business or private practices.
There are no additional costs to respondents.
Estimate annualized costs to the Federal government.
The estimated annual cost to the Federal government for this collection is $9,149,000.
15. Explain any program changes or adjustments.
This is an extension of a previously approved collection. There have not been any program changes. The following adjustments have been made:
Number of Respondents has been adjusted to 210 to reflect the number of Ginnie Mae issuers that are actively
doing business.
A reassessment of the volume of responses and the frequency of responses per year has been made. Originally the burden calculation was based on the number of participants; however, the size of participants varies greatly. There are Issuers with very large portfolios and others with relatively small portfolios. Part of Ginnie Mae’s collection is participant driven and the other is volume driven. This distinction was made clear in the Federal Register Notice. Therefore the total burden has increased significantly; however it is a more accurate reflection.
