SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 203(c)(1) of the National 

Housing Act authorizes the Secretary to 

set the premium charge for insurance of 

mortgages under the various programs 

in Title II of the National Housing Act. 

The range within which the Secretary 

may set such charges must be between 

one-fourth of one percent per annum 

and one percent per annum of the 

amount of the principal obligation of the 

mortgage outstanding at any time. (See 

12 U.S.C. 1709(c)(1 )). 

On October 2, 2015, HUD published 

a Notice in the Federal Register (80 FR 

59809) announcing the MIP rates for 

FHA Multifamily, Health Care Facilities, 

and Hospital mortgage insurance 

programs that had commitments issued 

or reissued in FY 2016. Subsequently, 

on January 28, 2016, HUD Multifamily 

published a Notice in the Federal 

Register (81 FR 4926) announcing MIP 

rate reductions to promote affordable 

and green energy-efficient housing. 

HUD is now proposing rate reductions 

for certain Office of Healthcare 

Programs to achieve green and energyefficiency buildings for the Office of 

Residential Care Facilities (ORCF), 

Section 232 program. A February 2017 

article from Science Direct that studied 

energy consumption costs for healthcare 

facilities states that ‘‘Healthcare 

facilities are considered major energy 

consumers due to their need for reliable 

electricity and thermal energy supplies 

for heating, ventilation, lighting, air 

conditioning and the use of medical and 

non-medical equipment.’’ In response to 

the President’s climate initiative, and 

global initiatives to combat climate 

change, and in-line with the 

Department’s and Administration’s 

goals to reduce energy consumption and 

utility costs throughout the building 

sector, rate reductions are proposed to 

promote healthy, green, and energyefficient healthcare facilities. 

HUD’s Multifamily Housing Mortgage 

Insurance regulation at 24 CFR 207.254 

provides as follows: 

Notice of future premium changes 

will be published in the Federal 

Register. The Department will propose 

MIP changes for multifamily mortgage 

insurance programs and provide a 30- 

day public comment period for the 

purpose of accepting comments on 

whether the proposed changes are 

appropriate. 

This provision also applies to 

mortgages insured under the Section 

232 Program (See 24 CFR 232.251). 

Pursuant to the 30-day comment 

procedure, this Notice announces MIP 

changes for FY 2023, for certain 

programs authorized under the National 

Housing Act (the Act) (12 U.S.C. 

1709(c)(1)), and specifically for the 

Section 232 program. These changes 

will become effective October 1, 2022. 

II. This Notice 

This Notice announces that HUD is 

changing MIPs for FHA-insured loans 

on properties under specific Office of 

Healthcare insurance programs. In FY 

2013, FHA increased MIPs to 

compensate for increased risk to the 

FHA-insurance fund after the housing 

market crisis. Over the past eight years 

since the MIP rate was adjusted, HUD 

has continued to improve underwriting 

standards to further mitigate risk to the 

FHA portfolio, including improved 

reviews of appraised values, heightened 

examination of quality of care history, 

and strengthened requirements for 

borrower and parent entity experience/ 

capacity. 

The proposed MIP changes reflect 

HUD’s commitment to supporting the 

long-term viability and efficiency of its 

insured portfolio, in line with the 

President’s climate agenda. They are 

also prudent in light of the financial 

health of the Section 232 portfolio and 

the favorable impact that the analogous 

MIP changes to the FHA Multifamily 

programs have had over the past five 

years. 

A. Green and Energy-Efficient 

Healthcare Facilities 

Annual MIP will change from current 

rates generally between 45 and 77 basis 

points, to 25 basis points for certain 

Section 232, Office of Residential Care 

Facilities’ FHA-insured loan types. This 

policy intends to encourage owners to 

adopt higher standards for construction, 

rehabilitation, repairs, maintenance, and 

property operations that are more 

energy efficient and sustainable than

30512 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2022 / Notices 

1HUD recognizes that the owners of projects that 

become insured with this newly announced Green 

MIP rate may, in later years, seek refinancing of that 

loan. Subsequent program guidance will address 

procedures for continuing that Green MIP rate in 

the new loan. 

traditional approaches to such activities. 

Those measures will result in projects 

with greater energy and water 

efficiency, reduced operating costs, 

improved indoor air quality and 

resident comfort, and reduced overall 

impact on the environment. To facilitate 

this, mortgage proceeds will be used to 

retrofit properties to meet the stringent 

efficiency standards required to access 

this lower MIP premium. 

To qualify: 

Upon application for FHA mortgage 

insurance, the owner must evidence that 

the project will achieve, an industryrecognized standard for green building 

certification. For properties that have 

already achieved a green building 

standard certification and that are 

refinancing with this lower MIP 

premium, proceeds must be used to 

complete further efficiency upgrades 

and thereby achieve the next-level green 

certification standards.1 Acceptable, 

independently verified standards 

include the Enterprise Green 

Communities Criteria, U.S. Green 

Building Council’s LEED-Home, LEEDHighrise, LEED-Midrise, LEED-Lowrise, 

LEED–NC, LEED-Healthcare Facilities, 

EarthCraft Multifamily, Earth Advantage 

Multifamily, the National Green 

Building Standard (NGBS), Passive 

Building Certification or EnerPHit 

Retrofits certification from the Passive 

House Institute US (PHIUS), 

International Passive House 

Association, or the Passive House 

Institute, and Living Building Challenge 

Certification from the International 

Living Future Institute, or other 

industry-recognized green building 

standards in the sole discretion of 

HUD’s Office of Residential Care 

Facilities. 

Further, the owner must certify that it 

has achieved, or will pursue, achieve, 

and maintain a score of 75 or better on 

the 1–100 ENERGY STAR score, using 

EPA’s Portfolio Manager for the Senior 

Care Community building type. The 

reasonableness of achieving and 

maintaining the specified, independent 

green building standard, and the score 

of 75 or better in Portfolio Manager, 

must be verified by the independent 

conclusion of the qualified assessor 

preparing the physical condition 

assessment, and supported by the 

physical condition assessment report 

and recommendations, the American 

Society of Heating, Refrigerating and 

Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 

level II energy audit (required for 

existing structures only), and plans for 

new construction, or rehabilitation, 

repairs, and operations and 

maintenance. The physical condition 

assessment report submitted with the 

mortgage insurance application must 

include a certification from the 

architect, engineer, or certified energy 

auditor that the planned scope of work 

is reasonably sufficient to achieve and 

maintain the specified certification. 

Additionally, the owner must submit to 

HUD evidence that the specified, 

independent green building standard 

has been achieved, and provide a copy 

of the Portfolio Manager report showing 

building performance at or above 75, at 

the time those standards were achieved, 

and no more than 24 months after 

completion of new construction, 

substantial rehabilitation or renovations, 

or 24 months after break-even 

occupancy. The owner must submit the 

Portfolio Manager report annually to 

HUD showing that the property has 

maintained its efficiency performance at 

or above 75. HUD anticipates issuing 

implementation guidance via Mortgagee 

Letter or supplemental Notice. 

Additionally, the Borrower’s obligations 

with respect to the reduced MIP will be 

set forth in the Borrower Regulatory 

Agreement, the non-compliance with 

which may result in HUD’s pursuit of 

all available rights and remedies. 

To ensure that the benefits of these 

MIP rates directly benefit the residential 

care properties and residents, lenders 

submitting applications for loans using 

this MIP rate are limited in the total 

loan fees they may charge on any loan 

greater than $2 million, to no more than 

5 percent of the insured loan amount. 

Loan fees include (a) origination and 

placement fees as permitted by the MAP 

Guide, plus (b) trade profit, trade 

premium or marketing gain earned on 

the sale of the GNMA security at a value 

above par, even if the security sale is 

delayed until after endorsement, minus 

(c) loan fees applied by the Mortgagee 

to its legal expenses incurred in 

connection with loan closing. This 5 

percent limitation on loan fees shall 

further apply to a later Interest Rate 

Reduction, if any, of the loan. 

III. MIPs for FHA’s Office of Healthcare 

Programs Mortgage Insurance 

Programs Effective on October 1, 2022 

HUD is changing MIPs for FHAinsured loans for specific properties 

under The Office of Residential Care 

Facilities, Section 232 Mortgage 

Insurance program. The chart below 

details the MIP rates for each rate 

category, and each type of FHA 

mortgage insurance covered under this 

Notice. 

This Notice also includes the upfront 

and annual MIP rates for the Office of 

Residential Care Facilities Section 232/ 

223(i) Fire Equipment Safety Loan 

program. The MIP rates for that program 

are encompassed in 24 CFR 232.805 but 

were not specifically referenced in the 

most recent Notice addressing Section 

232 MIP rates, so those 232/223(i) rates 

are being included here simply for 

clarity purposes.

conservation plan (HCP) and draft 

categorical exclusion (CatEx) for 

activities associated with an application 

for an incidental take permit (ITP) under 

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended. The ITP would authorize take 

of the federally threatened California 

red-legged frog, endangered California 

tiger salamander (Santa Barbara County 

distinct population segment), and nonlisted western spadefoot toad, incidental 

to activities associated with the Legacy 

Homes Tract No. 14608 Development

draft HCP as part of their application for 

an ITP. The Service prepared a draft 

low-effect screening form and 

environmental action statement in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act to evaluate 

the potential effects to the natural and 

human environment resulting from 

issuing an ITP to the applicant. We
