Abstract: To participate in MAP, lenders will be required to show that they have an experienced multifamily underwriter on staff, a satisfactory record on lending on multifamily housing properties, and an acceptable Quality Control Plan. Qualified lenders can then take advantage of a mortgage application-procesing plan that will take substantially less processing time than traditional processing.

Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved collection for the approval of the MAP Lender requirements. There are no changes to the way the program is administered. However, this collection reports a reduction in the burden hours from the previous collection. This collection requests 10,406 burden hours, the previous collection burden hours were 52,107.50, which is a difference of (41,701.50). Department implemented the follow factors to improve efficiency in lender approval and loan underwriting approval process to reduce the burden hours in this collection by: risk mitigation in underwriting requirements, standardization of processing procedures and forms, and the elimination of duplication in procedures, and forms. In addition to these existing mitigations, per our HUD Departmental guidance we were informed that we were to only list the burden numbers for “Standard Practice” items and not to include these numbers in Number 12’s matrix. HUD had previously counted the burden hours of the “Standard Practice” items the same as the submission of forms and documents. These are forms and documents which are already being collected under other approved OMB collections. The Standard Practice disclosed in this collection are the same procedures, practices, compliances, and authorities that are also required in the industry. Based on this guidance this will drastically reduce the total annual burden hours. A list of the other OMB collections included in Section 1 of this Supporting Statement.
