endorsement. Approved loans are (1)

those already underwritten and

approved by a Direct Endorsement (DE)

underwriter employed by an

unconditionally approved DE lender

and (2) cases covered by a firm

commitment issued by HUD. Cases at

earlier stages of processing cannot be

submitted for insurance by the

terminated branch; however, they may

be transferred for completion of

processing and underwriting to another

mortgagee or branch authorized to

originate FHA insured mortgages in that

area. Mortgagees are obligated to

continue to pay existing insurance

premiums and meet all other obligations

associated with insured mortgages.

A terminated mortgagee may apply for

a new Origination Approval Agreement

if the mortgagee continues to be an

approved mortgagee meeting the

requirements of 24 CFR 202.5, 202.6,

202.7, 202.8 or 202.10 and 202.12, if

there has been no Origination Approval

Agreement for at least six months, and

if the Secretary determines that the

underlying causes for termination have

been remedied. To enable the Secretary

to ascertain whether the underlying

causes for termination have been

remedied, a mortgagee applying for a

new Origination Approval Agreement

must obtain an independent review of

the terminated office’s operations as

well as its mortgage production,

specifically including the FHA-insured

mortgages cited in its termination

notice. This independent analysis shall

identify the underlying cause for the

mortgagee’s high default and claim rate.

The review must be conducted and

issued by an independent Certified

Public Accountant (CPA) qualified to

perform audits under Government

Auditing Standards as set forth by the

General Accounting Office. The

mortgagee must also submit a written

corrective action plan to address each of

the issues identified in the CPA’s report,

along with evidence that the plan has

been implemented. The application for

a new Agreement should be in the form

of a letter, accompanied by the CPA’s

report and corrective action plan. The

request should be sent to the Director,

Office of Lender Activities and Program

Compliance, 451 Seventh Street, S.W.,
