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 amended, 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 Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) secured by government home loans. These loans are insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration FHA, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD), Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) Home Loan Program for Veterans, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA). Rural Development Housing, and Community Facilities Programs and Rural Development Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program (RD) Ginnie Mae remains a self-financing, wholly owned U.S. Government Corporation within HUD. 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.

Due to the elimination of the application used for Fingerprint Enrollment used by Ginnie Mae issuers and document custodians to access the GinnieNET system, Ginnie Mae is revising our Appendix III-29 to include the following:

The name of the appendix will be changed to: Ginnie Mae Systems Access Appendix will have six (6) clearing defined sections. They are as follows:


Appendix III-29: Instructions: incorporates language to make the Appendix applicable to Ginnie Mae’s GinnieNET system as well as the Ginnie Mae GMEP system. It clarifies the relationship of the Appendix to Ginnie Mae form HUD 11708.


Appendix III-29 (A): Issuer Security Officer Registration:

Incorporates language to make the Appendix applicable to Ginnie Mae’s GinnieNET system as well as the Ginnie Mae GMEP system.


Appendix III-29 (B): User Registration for Issuer Only:

Incorporates language to ensure the user acknowledgements and signed rules of behavior encompasses the use of the GinnieNET system. Adding a GinnieNET section with two (2) check boxes to the following types of GinnieNET functions: GinnieNET RSA SecurID Token Holder and GinnieNET User.


Appendix III-29 (C): Custodian Security Officer Registration:

Incorporates language to make the Appendix applicable to Ginnie Mae’s GinnieNET system as well as the Ginnie Mae GMEP system.


Appendix III-29 (D): Custodian User Registration:

Incorporates language to ensure the user acknowledgements and signed rules of behavior encompasses the use of the GinnieNET system.

Adding a check box for GinnieNET SecurID Token Holder


Appendix III-29 (E): RSA SecurID Token Request

New form to be used by Ginnie Mae Issuers and Document Custodians to obtain the required RSA Token and identify user access




As a result of the revisions to Appendix III-29, Ginnie Mae will be eliminating the use of Appendix III-14 (Enrollment Administrator and GinnieNET Authorized Signatories.


With the implementation of Ginnie Mae’s streamlined investor reporting under the revised Appendix VI-19 (Monthly Pool and Loan Level Report), the following appendices will be eliminated: Appendix VII-1(Collection of Remaining Principal Balances) and Appendix VII-2 (Remaining Principal Balance Submission Formats for Home Equity Conversion Mortgage-Backed Security (HMBS) Pools. As part of this streamlined investor reporting process, in order to capture RFS exceptions listed in Appendix VI-19, Ginnie Mae has release Appendix VI-14 (Multifamily Prepayment Penalty Record File Layout) and Appendix VI-16 (Quarterly Custodial Account Verification Record File Layout).


Due to the increase in the number of Ginnie Mae active issuers in our HMBS program, Ginnie Mae is now including Form 11703-II – Appendix I-7 (Master Agreement for Participation Accounting and Forms 11705H/11706H – Appendix III-28 (Schedule of Subscribers and Ginnie Mae Guaranty Agreement and Pool Participations –HMBS Pooling Import File Layout) in our collection. This form combines both 11705H/11706H (Appendix III-28) into one import file layout.


The change in burden hours is a result of the following:

  • addition of the new sections in Appendix III-29,

  • additions of Appendices I-7, III-28, VI-14, VI-16, VI-17, VI-21and Appendix VIII-1

  • elimination of Appendices III-14 and Appendix VII-1

  • increased the burden times listed on Appendices I-1, Appendix III-7, Appendix III-13, Appendix III-29, Appendix VI-19 to more realistic times


There are 20 forms and appendices in our collection which are volume driven rather than participant driven: these have increased as our portfolio has grown.

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 has 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 program.


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.

4. Is this information collected elsewhere? If so, why cannot any similar information already available be used or modified.

This information collection effort does not duplicate any other effort, so it will not produce or create duplication of information.


5. Does the collection of information impact small businesses or other small entities (item 5 of OMB form 83-i)? 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 be streamlined to further minimize burden.


  1. 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 Government. 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 that 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 retain a copy of their submissions for their records.


Issuers are required to submit originals of the following:

form HUD 11702/Appendix I-2 – 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.

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 there.

The attached solicitation for comments was in the Federal Register dated Monday, July 6, 2015, Volume 80, No. 128, pages 38455-338458. 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, quarterly issuer outreach calls 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. Ginnie Mae’s GinnieNET and Enterprise Wide Portal are secure web-based systems. The information collected will not be disclosed outside the Department except as required or permitted by law.


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 26 forms and 42 appendices included with this submission. In the event that there are more than 10 respondents, the collection will be PRA compliant. The increase in burden hours as result of an increase in the number of issuers doing business with Ginnie Mae, the addition of new appendices and an overall growth in our portfolio. There are 15 forms and appendices in our collection which are volume driven rather than participant driven: the burden hours associated with those items has increased as our portfolio has grown.

While most of the calculations are based on number of respondents multiplied by the frequency of response, there

are several items whose calculations are based on volume. While the top part of the table shows that most of the calculations are based on number of respondents multiplied by the frequency of response, the bottom section of the table reflects items where the calculation is based on volume. The reason for this approach is because the volume of business for a given program participant varies greatly. We do have 468 approved Issuers, not all of them are actively pooling. We have some program participants that issue only a few pools and others that issue hundreds. Therefore, basing the calculation on program participant does not provide an accurate depiction of the increasing volume. For example, Ginnie Mae averages 3,000 – 3,500 pools issued every month. This may reflect 100 program participants or it may include 300 program participants.


Below is the number of respondents reviewing, collecting, and submitting the requested information/ forms below. The number of respondents for each form varies based on the frequency of the respondents for reviewing the Ginnie Mae document submission requirements (i.e., monthly, annually or quarterly).

f. Explanation: See above and Question 15

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:

$29.00 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.

  1. Estimate annualized costs to the Federal government.

The estimated annual cost to the Federal government for this collection is $37,575,471.12.
