# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Institution Master File (IMF) System formerly maintained a file of institutions (Title I lenders and Title II mortgagees) which have been approved by HUD to participate in the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Mortgage Insurance Programs. The principal objective of the IMF was to consolidate information on the approval status of mortgagees and lenders participating in FHA's insurance program. The Leader Electronic Assessment Portal (LEAP) has replaced IMF's role as the system of records and IMF no longer processes lender institution information. The active records for IMF were transferred to LEAP. Any records past its retention time were sent to the Records Warehouse.

### SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
