DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Rural Housing Service 

Notice for Request for Proposals for 

Guaranteed Loans Under the Section 

538 Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing 

Program (GRRHP) for Fiscal Year 2008 

AGENCY: Rural Housing Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This is a request for proposals 

for guaranteed loans under the section 

538 Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing 

Program (GRRHP) pursuant to 7 CFR 

3565.4 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 subject 

to the availability of funding. FY 2008 

funding for the section 538 program is 

$129,090,000. Applicants will submit 

proposals in the form of ‘‘RESPONSES.’’

The commitment of program dollars 

will be made to applicants of selected 

responses that have fulfilled the 

necessary requirements for obligation. 

Expenses incurred in developing 

applications will be at the applicant’s 

risk. The following paragraphs outline 

the timeframes, eligibility requirements, 

lender responsibilities, and the overall 

response and application processes. 

The GRRHP operates under 7 CFR 

part 3565. The GRRHP Origination and 

Servicing Handbook (HB–1–3565) is 

available to provide lenders and the 

general public with guidance on 

program administration. HB–1–3565, 

which contains a copy of 7 CFR part 

3565 in Appendix 1, can be found at the 

Agency’s Instructions Web site address 

http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/regs/ 

hblist.html#hbw6. 

Eligible lenders are invited to submit 

responses for the new construction of 

affordable rural rental housing, the 

acquisition with rehabilitation of 

affordable rural rental housing, the 

revitalization, repair, and transfer (as 

stipulated in 7 CFR 3560.406) of 

existing direct section 515 housing 

(transfer costs are subject to Agency 

approval and must be an eligible use of 

loan proceeds as listed in 7 CFR 

3565.205), and properties involved in 

the Agency’s multi-family preservation 

and revitalization program (MPR). 

Equity payments, as stipulated in 7 CFR 

3560.406, in connection with the 

transfer of existing direct section 515 

housing, are an eligible use of loan 

proceeds. In order to be considered, 

direct section 515 housing and MPR 

projects must need repairs and undergo 

revitalization of a minimum of $6,500 

per unit. 

The Agency will review responses 

submitted by eligible lenders, on the 

lender’s letterhead, and signed by both 

the prospective borrower and lender. 

Although a complete application is not 

required in response to this Notice of 

request for proposals, eligible lenders 

may submit a complete application 

concurrently with the response. 

However, submitting a complete 

application will not have an effect on 

the respondent’s score. 

DATES: As long as funds remain 

available, eligible responses to this 

notice will be accepted and eligible 

requests will be obligated per this 

guidance until September 26, 2008, 12 

P.M. Eastern Time. Complete 

applications that are received by the 

Agency prior to April 25, 2008 will be 

given priority ranking and scoring. A 

notice will be placed in the Federal 

Register if all FY 2008 funds are 

committed prior to September 26, 2008. 

Selected responses that develop into 

complete applications and meet all 

Federal environmental requirements 

will receive commitments to the extent 

an appropriation act provides funding 

for GRRHP for FY 2008 until all funds 

are expended. 

The Agency will select the responses 

that meet eligibility criteria and invite 

lenders to submit complete applications 

to the Agency. Those responses that are 

selected that subsequently submit 

complete applications that meet all 

program requirements and are received 

prior to or on April 25, 2008, but score 

less than 25 points, or score 25 points 

or more, but have a development cost 

ratio equal to or greater than 70 percent, 

may be selected for obligation after 

April 25, 2008, with the highest scoring 

responses receiving priority subject to 

availability of funds. After April 25, 

2008, responses that develop into 

complete applications that meet all 

program requirements will be selected 

for further processing regardless of 

score, subject to the availability of 

funding. 

The USDA Rural Development will 

prioritize the obligation requests 

received after April 25, 2008, using the 

highest score and the procedures 

outlined as follows. Once a complete 

application is received and approved by 

the State Office, an obligation request 

for 2008 funds will be submitted [via 

fax] by the State Office to the National 

Office. Obligation requests submitted to 

the National Office will be accumulated, 

but not obligated, throughout the week 

until the weekly obligation request 

submission deadline of midnight 

Eastern Time every Thursday. To the 

extent that funds remain available, the 

National Office will obligate the 

requests accumulated through the 

weekly request submission deadline of 

the previous week by the following 

Tuesday (i.e., requests received from 

Friday, May 16, 2008, to Thursday, May 

22, 2008, will be obligated by Tuesday, 

May 27, 2008). However, requests 

received prior to April 25, 2008, that are 

not eligible for obligation until after 

April 25, 2008, will be obligated no 

earlier than Tuesday, April 29, 2008. 

Funds will be allocated in scoring order, 

with the highest scoring requests being 

obligated first, until all funds are 

exhausted. In the event of a tie, priority 

will be given to the request for the 

project that: 1st—has the highest 

percentage of leveraging (lowest Loan to 

Cost); 2nd—is in the smaller rural 

community. Eligible responses to this 

Notice received before the September 

26, 2008, deadline, or before FY 2008 

funds are exhausted (whichever occurs 

first) will be processed to the point of 

a complete application, and if approved, 

will be scored in the 2009 funding cycle 

provided there are no significant 

program changes. 

Eligible lenders mailing a response or 

application must provide sufficient time 

to permit delivery to the Submission 

Address on or before the closing 

deadline date and time. Acceptance by 

a U.S. Post Office or private mailer does 

not constitute delivery. Postage due 

responses and applications will not be 

accepted. 

Submission Address: Eligible lenders 

will send responses to the contact 

person in the State Office where the 

project will be located. The lender will 

also send a copy of its response (copies 

of ‘‘Lender Certification’’ letter and 

‘‘Project Specific Data’’ sheets only; do 

not include any application supporting

Eligiblity of Prior Year Selected Notice 

of Funding Availability Responses: FY 

2007 NOFA response selections that did 

not develop into complete applications 

within the time constraints stipulated 

by the corresponding State Office have 

been cancelled. A new response for the 

project may be submitted subject to the 

conditions of this Notice. 

FY 2007 NOFA responses that were 

selected by the Agency, and a complete 

application (including all Federal 

environmental documents required by 7 

CFR part 1940, subpart G, a Form RD 

3565–1, and the $2,500 application fee) 

was submitted by the lender within 90 

days from the date of notification of 

response selection (unless an extension 

was granted by the State office), will be 

eligible for FY 2008 program dollars and 

will compete for available FY 2008 

funds without having to complete a FY 

2008 response. 

General Program Information 

Program Purpose: The purpose of the 

GRRHP is to increase the supply of 

affordable rural rental housing, through 

the use of loan guarantees that 

encourage partnerships between the 

Agency, private lenders, and public 

agencies. 

Responses Must be Submitted by: The 

Agency will only accept responses from 

GRRHP eligible or approved lenders as 

described in 7 CFR 3565.102 and 

3565.103 respectively. 

Qualifying Properties: Qualifying 

properties include new construction for 

multi-family housing units, the 

acquisition of existing structures with a 

minimum per unit rehabilitation 

expenditure requirement in accordance 

with 7 CFR 3565.252, the revitalization, 

repair and transfer (as stipulated in 7 

CFR 3560.406) of existing direct section 

515 housing (transfer costs are subject to 

Agency approval and must be an 

eligible use of loan proceeds as listed in 

7 CFR 3565.205) and properties 

involved in the Agency’s MPR program. 

Equity payment, as stipulated 7 CFR 

3560.406, in the transfer of existing 

direct section 515 housing, is an eligible 

use of loan proceeds. In order to be 

considered, direct section 515 housing 

projects and MPR properties must need 

repairs and undergo revitalization of a 

minimum of $6,500 per unit. 

Eligible Financing Sources: Any form 

of Federal, state, and conventional 

sources of financing can be used in 

conjunction with the loan guarantee, 

including Home Investment Partnership 

Program (HOME) grant funds, tax 

exempt bonds, and low income housing 

tax credits. 

Maximum Guarantee: The Agency 

can guarantee the ‘‘permanent’’ loan. 

The Agency can only guarantee 

construction advances for the 

construction of the property if a 

guarantee for the permanent loan is 

requested for the same property. The 

Agency cannot, however, guarantee only 

the ‘‘construction’’ advances for the 

construction of a property. 

The maximum guarantee for a 

permanent loan will be 90 percent of the 

unpaid principal and interest up to 

default and accrued interest 90 calendar 

days from the date the liquidation plan 

is approved by the Agency, as defined 

in 7 CFR 3565.452. Penalties incurred as 

a result of default are not covered by the 

guarantee. The Agency may provide a 

lesser guarantee based upon its 

evaluation of the credit quality of the 

loan. The Agency liability under any 

guarantee will decrease or increase, in 

proportion to any decrease or increase 

in the amount of the unpaid portion of 

the loan, up to the maximum amount 

specified in the Loan Note Guarantee. 

The maximum guarantee of 

construction advances will not at any 

time exceed the lesser of 90 percent of 

the amount of principal and interest up 

to default advanced for eligible uses of 

loan proceeds or 90 percent of the 

original principal amount and interest 

up to default of the loan. Penalties 

incurred as a result of default are not 

covered by the guarantee. The Agency 

may provide a lesser guarantee based 

upon its evaluation of the credit quality 

of the loan. 

Reimbursement of Losses: Any losses 

will be split on a pro-rata basis between 

the lender and the Agency from the first 

dollar lost. 

Interest Rate: The Agency will accept 

the best rate negotiated between the 

lender and prospective borrower. The 

lender is not required to provide the 

interest rate in the response. When 

applying for interest credit, the lender 

must provide the basis points over the 

Long Term Monthly Applicable Federal 

Rate that it will use to calculate the loan 

note’s interest rate. The interest rate 

must be fixed over the term of the loan. 

In case the Agency also guarantees 

construction advances, the interest rate 

must be fixed (i.e., the same during 

construction as it is for permanent 

financing) for the entire term of the 

loan. 

Interest Credit: For at least 20 percent 

of the loans made during each fiscal 

year, the Agency will provide assistance 

in the form of interest credit, to the 

extent necessary to reduce the agreedupon rate of interest to the Long Term 

Monthly AFR as such term is used in 

section 42(I)(2)(D) of the Internal 

Revenue Code of 1986, 26 U.S.C. 7805, 

Section 1.42–1T. The interest credit will 

be paid in accordance with HB–1–3565 

4.10 D. If 20 percent of the loans have 

not received interest credit by April 25, 

2008, then the Agency will award 

interest credit to those loans that 

initially requested interest credit and 

have the highest interest credit priority 

score until at least 20 percent of the 

loans have received interest credit. 

Requests for interest credit must be 

made in the response. 

Lenders are not permitted to make 

requests for interest credit after the 

selection process has taken place. When 

interest credit assistance is requested, 

lenders must state in the response the 

maximum basis points above the Long 

Term Monthly AFR that will be used to 

calculate the interest rate. Priority 

points will be awarded to only those 

responses submitting proposed interest 

rates equal to or less than 250 basis 

points above the Long Term Monthly 

AFR. Any response submitted that 

exceeds 250 basis points above the Long 

Term Monthly AFR will receive a 

deduction of 20 points from its Priority 

Score (refer to ‘‘Scoring the Priority 

Criteria for Selection of Projects’’

section of this Notice). A total of 30 

points will be deducted from the 

Priority Score of any response submitted 

that is 300 basis points or more above 

the Long Term Monthly AFR. 

Due to limited funding, and in order 

to distribute interest credit assistance as 


ebenthall on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
6472 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 23 / Monday, February 4, 2008 / Notices 

broadly as possible and minimize 

program costs, the Agency will limit the 

interest credit to $1.5 million per loan. 

For example, if an eligible request were 

made for interest credit on a loan of $2.5 

million, up to $1.5 million of the loan 

would receive interest credit. Interest 

credit is only available for the 

permanent loan (not construction 

loans). Lenders with projects that are 

viable with or without interest credit are 

encouraged to submit a response 

reflecting financial and market 

feasibility under both funding options. 

Responses requesting consideration 

under both options will not affect 

interest credit selection. Due to limited 

interest credit funds and the 

responsibility of USDA Rural 

Development to target and give priority 

to rural areas most in need, responses 

requesting interest credit must score a 

minimum of 55 points under the criteria 

established in this Notice. 

Surcharges for Guarantee of 

Construction Advances: There is no 

surcharge for the guarantee of 

construction advances for FY 2008. 

Program Fees for FY 2008: As a 

condition of receiving a loan guarantee, 

the Agency will charge the following 

guarantee fees to the lender. 

(1) Initial guarantee fee. The Agency 

will charge an initial guarantee fee equal 

to one percent of the guaranteed loan 

amount. For purposes of calculating this 

fee, the guaranteed loan amount is the 

product of the percentage of the 

guarantee times the initial principal 

amount of the guaranteed loan. 

(2) Annual guarantee fee. An annual 

guarantee fee of at least 50 basis points 

(one-half percent) of the outstanding 

principal amount of the loan as of 

December 31 will be charged each year 

or portion of a year that the guarantee 

is in effect. 

(3) There is a non-refundable 

application fee of $2,500 when the 

application is submitted. 

(4) There is a flat fee of $500 when a 

lender requests USDA Rural 

Development to extend the term of a 

guarantee commitment. 

(5) There is a flat fee of $500 when a 

lender requests USDA Rural 

Development to reopen an application 

when a commitment has expired. 

(6) There is a flat fee of $1,250 when 

a lender requests USDA Rural 

Development to approve the transfer of 

property and assumption of the loan to 

an eligible prospective borrower. 

(7) There is no lender application fee 

for lender approval in FY 2008. 

Eligible Lenders: An eligible lender 

for the section 538 GRRHP as required 

by 7 CFR 3565.102 must be a licensed 

business entity or Housing Finance 

Agency (HFA) in good standing in the 

state or states where it conducts 

business. Lender eligibility 

requirements are contained in 7 CFR 

3565.102. Please review 7 CFR 3565.102 

for a complete list of all of the criteria. 

Below is a list of some of the eligible 

lender criteria under 7 CFR 3565.102: 

(1) Licensed business entity that 

meets the qualifications and has the 

approval of the Secretary of Housing 

and Urban Development (HUD) to make 

multi-family housing loans that are 

insured under the National Housing 

Act. A complete list of HUD approved 

lenders can be found on the HUD Web 

site at http://www.hud.gov. 

(2) A licensed business entity that 

meets the qualifications and has the 

approval of the Ginnie Mae or Freddie 

Mac or Fannie Mae corporations to 

make multi-family housing loans that 

are sold to the same corporations. A 

complete list of Freddie Mac approved 

lenders can be found in Freddie Mac’s 

Web site at http://www.freddiemac.com. 

Fannie Mae approved lenders are found 

at http://www.fanniemae.com. For a list 

of Ginnie Mae issuers, contact Ginnie 

Mae at http://www.ginniemae.gov. 

(3) A State or local HFA with a toptier rating from Moody’s or Standard & 

Poors, or member of the Federal Home 

Loan Bank system, and the 

demonstrated ability to underwrite, 

originate, process, close, service, 

manage, and dispose of multi-family 

housing loans in a prudent manner. 

(4) Be a GRRHP approved lender, 

defined as an entity with a current

process, close, service, manage, and 

dispose of multi-family housing loans in 

a prudent manner. In order to be 

approved the lender will have to have 

an acceptable level of financial 

soundness as determined by a lender 

rating service. The submission of 

materials demonstrating capacity will be 

required if the lender’s response is 

selected. Lenders who are otherwise 

ineligible may become eligible if they 

maintain a correspondent relationship 

with an eligible lender that does have 

the capacity to underwrite, originate, 

process, close, service, manage, and 

dispose of multi-family housing loans in 

a prudent manner. In this case, the 

eligible lender must submit the response 

and application on company letterhead. 

All contractual and legal documentation 

will be signed between USDA Rural 

Development and the lender that 

submitted the response and application. 

GRRHP Lender Approval Application: 

Lenders whose responses are selected 

will be notified by the USDA Rural 

Development to submit a request for 

GRRHP lender approval application 

within 30 days of notification. Lenders 

who request GRRHP approval must 

meet the standards in the 7 CFR 

3565.102 and 103. Lenders that have 

received GRRHP lender approval in the 

past and are in good standing do not 

need to reapply for GRRHP lender 

approval. 

Submission of Documentation for 

GRRHP Lender Approval: All lenders 

that have not yet received GRRHP 

lender approval must submit a complete 

lender application to: Director, MultiFamily Housing Processing Division, 

Rural Housing Service, U.S. Department 

of Agriculture, Room 1263, STOP 0781,

approval and the following 

documentation: 

(1) Request for GRRHP lender 

approval on the lender’s letterhead; 

(2) Lenders who are HUD, Ginnie

Additional Construction Lender 

Requirements 

The Agency can guarantee the 

‘‘permanent’’ loan. The Agency can only 

guarantee construction advances for the 

construction of the property if a 

guarantee for the permanent loan is 

requested for the same property. The 

Agency cannot, however, guarantee only 

the ‘‘construction’’ advances for the 

construction of a property. 

A lender making a construction loan 

must demonstrate an ability to originate 

and service construction loans, in 

addition to meeting the other 

requirements of 7 CFR part 3565, 

subpart C. A lender who originates and 

services construction/permanent loans 

must agree to manage the construction 

and draw activities in the manner 

described in the Chapter 5 of HB–1–

3565. Lenders must meet either the 

basic or the demonstrated eligibility test 

in paragraphs 2.4 and 2.5 of HB–1–3565 

and the lender approval requirements 

set forth in paragraph 2.6 of HB–1–3565. 

Lenders must clearly identify policies 

and processes for multi-family 

construction lending. Lenders must also 

provide a summary of their multi-family 

construction lending activity in the 

same form as specified in paragraph 2.5 

of HB–1–3565. The Agency may, at its 

discretion, consider other types of 

construction loans—such as those for 

commercial development—as a 

substitute for multi-family construction 

experience. 

Lender Responsibilities: Lenders will 

be responsible for the full range of loan 

origination, underwriting, management, 

servicing, compliance issues, and 

property disposition activities 

associated with their projects. The 

lender will be expected to provide 

guidance to the prospective borrower on 

the Agency requirements during the 

application phase. Once the guarantee is 

issued, the lender is expected to service 

each loan it underwrites or contract 

these services to another capable entity. 

Discussion of Notice Responses 

Content of Notice Responses: All 

responses require lender information 

and project specific data. Incomplete 

responses will not be considered for 

funding. Lenders will be notified of 

incomplete responses. Complete

Scoring of Priority Criteria for 

Selection of Projects: All 2008 responses 

will be scored based on the criteria set 

forth below to establish their priority for 

obligation of funds. Per 7 CFR 3565.5 

(b), priority will be given to projects: In 

smaller rural communities, in the most 

needy communities having the highest 

percentage of leveraging, having the 

lowest interest rate, having the highest 

ratio of 3–5 bedroom units to total units, 

or located in Empowerment Zones/ 

Enterprise Communities or on tribal 

lands. In addition, the Agency may, at 

its sole discretion, set aside assistance 

for or rank projects that meet important 

program goals. Additional points will be 

awarded to responses for the 

revitalization, repair, and transfers of 

existing direct Section 515 housing. 

Prior to April 25, 2008, projects with 

an overall score of 25 points or more 

and a loan to development cost ratio 

less than 70 percent will be processed 

and, when ready, obligated on a firstcome-first-serve basis, provided funds 

are available. Projects that score less 

than 25 points, and projects that score 

25 points or more and do not have a 

loan to development cost ratio less than 

70 percent, may be processed up to the 

point of obligation, but will not be 

obligated until after April 25, 2008. 

After April 25, 2008, the Agency will 

select the highest scoring proposals 

using the procedure outlined in the 

DATES section of this Notice. 

All projects that score 55 points or 

more on the seven priority criteria, and 

request and demonstrate a need for an 

interest credit subsidy, will receive 

interest credit awards, subject to the 

availability of funding. 

The seven priority criteria for projects 

are listed below. 

Priority 1—Projects located in eligible 

rural communities with the lowest 

populations will receive the highest 

points.

application fee and completed Form RD 

3565–1 for the selected project. 

Conditional Commitment: Once 

required documents for obligation and 

the application fee are received and all 

NEPA requirements have been met, the 

USDA Rural Development State Office 

will issue a conditional commitment, 

which stipulates the conditions that 

must be fulfilled before the issuance of 

a guarantee, in accordance with 7 CFR 

3565.303. 

Issuance of Guarantee: The USDA 

Rural Development Office will issue a 

guarantee to the lender for a project in 

accordance with 7 CFR 3565.303. No 

guarantee can be issued without a

appropriate certifications, satisfactory 

assessment of the appropriate level of 

environmental review, and the 

completion of any conditional 

requirements. 

Non-Discrimination Statement 

USDA prohibits discrimination in all
