A. Overview of Information Collection

Title of Information Collection: Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide 5500.3, Revision 1 (Forms and Electronic Data Submissions).

OMB Control Number: 2503-0033.

Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Form Number: 11700, 11701, 11702, 11703-II, 11704, 11705, 11705H, 11706, 11706H, 11707, 11708, 11709, 11709-A, 11710A, 1710-B, 1710-C, 11710D, 117010DH, 11710E, 11711-A, 11711-B, 11714, 11714-SN, 11715, 11720, and 11732.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 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 that encompass the use of the GinnieNET system. Adding a Ginnie NET 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 that encompass 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, the following appendices will be eliminated: Appendix VII-1 for MBS reporting and Appendix VII-2 for HMBS reporting. As part of this streamlined investor reporting process, in order to capture RFS exceptions listed in Appendix VI-19, Ginnie Mae has released 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 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 the 11705H and 11706H (Appendix III-28) into one import file layout.

The addition of the new sections Appendix III-29, additions of Appendix VI-14, Appendix IV-16, Appendix III-28 and the elimination of Appendix III-14, Appendix VII-1 and Appendix VII-2 is the reason for the change of burden hours.

The initially scheduled name change of Appendix III-13 from Electronic Data Interchanges System Agreement to Electronic Data Transfer Agreement and the addition of the phrase: Law of the District of Columbia in Section 4.7 will take place at a later date.

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.

Included in the Guide are the appendices, forms, and documents necessary for Ginnie Mae to properly administer its MBS programs.

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.
