Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Closing Documents were revised to: 

provide clarification, improve 

readability, ensure consistency across 

the documents, correct previously 

provided information, and to reflect the 

2016 MAP Guide and the FHA 

Multifamily Closing Guide. The 

following is a discussion of noteworthy 

changes to certain of the Closing 

Documents, and an explanation of two 

new Closing Documents. 

Revisions to the Closing Documents 

Regulatory Agreement, HUD–92466M 

Given that the definitions of 

‘‘Principal’’ and ‘‘Affiliate’’ no longer 

appear at 24 CFR 200.215 following 

changes to HUD’s Previous Participation 

Rule, HUD proposes to add the prior 

definition of Principal and Affiliate 

from 24 CFR 200.215 as defined terms. 

HUD proposes to reincorporate the 

definition of ‘‘Residual Receipts’’ into 

the form. The term means certain funds 

which are restricted in their use by 

mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES

41978 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2017 / Notices 

Program Obligations and applicable 

business documents (e.g., HAP Contract, 

Use Agreement) as may be more 

specifically described in the Residual 

Receipts Rider attached to the 

Regulatory Agreement. This definition 

has been reincorporated because a 

number of HUD loan documents make 

reference to Residual Receipts, 

including some documents that refer to 

the Regulatory Agreement as the source 

of the definition. However, because the 

source of Residual Receipts 

requirements now ultimately lies in 

programs other than FHA insurance 

(e.g., in connection with certain Section 

8 HAP contracts), the definition for 

purposes of this document does not 

describe all instances when Residual 

Receipts would apply nor does it 

precisely describe the method for 

calculating Residual Receipts. Instead 

the definition makes reference to such 

other potential sources of Residual 

Receipts requirements, as may be more 

particularly described in an attached 

Residual Receipts Rider. 

Note, HUD–94001M 

HUD proposes to add alternative 

language for bifurcated notes for 

consistency with the MAP Guide policy 

allowing for such financing structures. 

Lender’s Certificate, HUD–92434M 

HUD proposes to add a new 

paragraph concerning No Material 

Adverse Changes for consistency with 

similar language in the Firm 

Commitment templates issued through 

Housing Notice 2016–06. 

HUD proposes the attachment of a 

new exhibit for the Reserve for 

Replacement funding schedule 

generated during the mortgage 

insurance application stage and 

attached to the Firm Commitment. The 

schedule represents the amounts that 

lenders must collect from borrowers 

during insured loan servicing unless 

other amounts are approved in writing 

by HUD pursuant to Program 

Obligations. 

HUD proposes to add a restriction 

formerly contained in the Instructions of 

Borrower’s Counsel relating to lenders’ 

due diligence obligations concerning 

certificates, permits, licenses, etc., that 

is more appropriate for the Lender’s 

Certificate. 

HUD proposes to add a new section 

for transactions involving cashcollateralized tax-exempt bonds 

combined with 4% Low Income 

Housing Tax Credits for consistency 

with the MAP Guide and current HUD 

practice. 

Request for Endorsement of Credit 

Instrument, HUD–92455M 

Certificate of Lender (HUD–92455M, 

Section I) 

HUD proposes to add a new 

paragraph concerning No Material 

Adverse Changes for consistency with 

similar language in the Firm 

Commitment templates issued through 

Housing Notice 2016–06. 

HUD proposes the attachment of a 

new exhibit for Reserve for Replacement 

funding schedule generated during the 

mortgage insurance application stage 

and attached to the Firm Commitment. 

The schedule represents the amounts 

that lenders must collect from borrowers 

during insured loan servicing unless 

other amounts are approved in writing 

by HUD pursuant to Program 

Obligations. 

HUD proposes to add a restriction 

formerly contained in the Instructions to 

Opinion of Borrower’s Counsel relating 

to lenders’ due diligence obligations 

concerning certificates, permits, 

licenses, etc., that is more appropriate 

for the Lender’s Certificate. 

HUD proposes to add a new section 

for transactions involving cashcollateralized tax-exempt bonds 

combined with 4% Low Income 

Housing Tax Credits for consistency 

with the MAP Guide and current HUD 

practice. 

HUD proposes to add a new 

certification moved from the 

Instructions to Opinion of Borrower’s 

Counsel relating to lender consent for 

any secondary financing. 

Certificate of Borrower (HUD–92455M, 

Section II) 

Completion of construction 

certification was enhanced to have the 

Borrower certify to the level of 

craftsmanship used to complete the 

repairs. 

The following certifications were 

typically given separately from the 

Certificate of Borrower and collected at 

closing: Certification of Schedule of 

Accounts Payable, Certification of Rent 

Roll, Certification of Tenant Security 

Deposits. These certifications have now 

been incorporated into this document in 

order to reduce the number of separate 

documents collected at closing. 

Opinion of Borrower’s Counsel, HUD– 

91725M; Instructions, HUD–91725M– 

INST; Exhibit A, HUD–91725M–CERT 

HUD proposes separate paragraphs 

related to bond, tax credit, secondary 

financing, and Public Entity Agreement 

(PEA) for clarification. The definition of 

PEA now includes public secondary 

financing; private secondary financing 

is a separate paragraph. There are 

separate opinions concerning 

supremacy of Primary/Supporting Loan 

for each of these matters. 

HUD proposes to add a new 

paragraph under documents reviewed to 

clarify (as stated in existing 

Instructions) that all transaction 

documents must be included. 

HUD proposes to add a new 

paragraph under opinions for required 

state or deal specific opinions. 

HUD proposes that Borrower’s 

Counsel must review all organizational 

documents within Borrower’s 

organizational structure, as is legally 

necessary, to establish the authority of 

the signatory executing transaction 

documents on behalf of Borrower and to 

give the authorization opinion. Also, 

HUD proposes to add a definition for 

2nd tier entity foreign status certificate. 

HUD proposes to add a disclosure 

exception in confirmation (d) where 

another attorney in Borrower’s 

Counsel’s law firm has an interest in the 

subject matters of the Opinion. 

Previously the conflict/identity of 

interest had to be disclosed but it was 

unclear how to disclose. HUD proposes 

to add language that counsel must 

confirm compliance with applicable 

ethics rules rather than issuing a 

separate ethics opinion. 

HUD proposes to include litigation 

‘‘threatened in writing’’ as part of the 

litigation disclosures. 

HUD proposes to add a definition of 

‘‘Primary Loan Documents’’ to include 

HUD loan documents but not bond, tax 

credit, secondary financing, and 

supporting documents to ensure the 

supremacy opinions regarding bond, tax 

credit, and secondary financing are clear 

that the Primary Loan Documents 

control. 

Lease Addendum, HUD–92070M 

HUD has reformatted this document 

for ease of reading along with adding 

section headings. There is no longer a 

separate instructions page as that caused 

confusion in the past. HUD proposes to 

revise the document to be a signed 

agreement that is attached to the 

underlying ground lease/lease, rather 

than an unsigned addendum. 

Additionally, recognition of HUD lease 

requirements formerly in the recitals are 

now proposed as part of the actual 

agreement. 

The proposed document has been 

further revised to provide two different 

options for the property interest being 

leased for consistency with new MAP 

Guide: Option 1, landlord owns the fee 

interest in the land and tenant/borrower 

owns the building and improvements 

(this is the traditional structure found in 

mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2017 / Notices 41979 

the existing Lease Addendum); Option 

2, the landlord owns the land, building 

and improvement in fee simple, which 

the tenant/borrower leases—this 

structure is now permitted in the 

revised MAP Guide in certain 

circumstances. 

HUD proposes to add minimum 

requirements if a memo of lease is 

recorded instead of the entire ground 

lease, subject to state law requirements. 

This should establish greater uniformity 

with respect to different practices in 

different HUD offices. 

The document now memorializes an 

existing but previously separate HUD 

requirement that landlords provide an 

estoppel certificate. HUD further 

proposes a bracketed option for deletion 

of the HUD option to purchase the fee 

estate when authorized in writing by 

HUD pursuant to Program Obligations, 

consistent with the new MAP Guide. 

Lastly, HUD proposes to add a clause 

to prohibit merger of the fee and 

leasehold estates without HUD consent, 

for the protection of HUD. This is a 

fairly typical ground lease provision. 

Subordination Agreement—Public, 

HUD–92420M 

HUD proposes that this particular 

form will only be used for public, 

secondary lenders. HUD proposes a 

separate subordination form for private, 

subordinate lenders (see below). 

HUD proposes to add brackets to 

certain provisions to accommodate 

secondary financing that comes in the 

form of forgivable loans. HUD proposes 

to add a sentence to memorialize Senior 

Lender’s consent to the Subordinate 

Loan pursuant to the MAP Guide. 

HUD proposes to add certain required 

language from the MAP Guide that was 

previously omitted. HUD also proposes 

to add language from the Surplus Cash 

Note that is required by the MAP Guide. 

HUD further proposes to include 

required HUD language to be inserted 

into the underlying promissory note so 

that Surplus Cash Note does not also 

need to be used. This should resolve 

inconsistent guidance and practice with 

respect to the form of note to use with 

public secondary financing that is 

secured. 

HUD proposes to remove the 

requirement that public, subordinate 

lenders agree that their lien be 

extinguished by deed in lieu of 

foreclosure. This is a concession to state 

and local housing finance agencies that 

have raised numerous objections to this 

provision over the last 2.5 years. 

HUD proposes a change to the 

prohibition against foreclosure of 

subordinate mortgages. Secondary 

financing lenders were previously 

prohibited from pursuing foreclosure in 

the event of a default under their loan 

documents. As an accommodation to 

public secondary financing lenders, 

Housing proposes to allow such public 

lenders to pursue their foreclosure 

remedies after a standstill period of 180 

days. Note that foreclosure for a 

monetary event of default will still not 

be allowed while the loan is insured or 

HUD-held, given that that repayment 

obligations during this time are limited 

to 75% of available Surplus Cash. 

Consequently, public subordinate 

lender foreclosure can only occur for 

covenant events of default, such as for 

violations of use and affordability 

restrictions. 

Subordination Agreement—Private, 

HUD–92907M 

This is an entirely new form. It 

replaces the Secondary Financing Rider 

found in the FHA Multifamily Program 

Closing Guide that was previously used 

for secured, private secondary 

financing. This new form is largely 

modeled after the Subordination 

Agreement, HUD–92420M, which will 

become the form used with public 

secondary financing lenders. 

Residual Receipts Note, HUD–92908M 

Residual Receipts Note (Nonprofit 

Borrowers) (HUD–91710M) & Residual 

Receipts Note (Limited Dividend 

Borrowers) (HUD–91712M) will be 

merged into one form of note going 

forward. For new transactions, Housing 

doesn’t underwrite NP or LD owners 

differently and so there is no longer an 

FHA-driven basis for residual receipts 

accounts. This was discussed in a 

public FAQ dated 6/18/2015 

(highlighting that borrower’s nonprofit 

status no longer triggers the requirement 

of residual receipts). However, the 

existing forms will continue to be made 

available for existing projects. 

Supplementary Conditions to the 

Construction Contract, HUD–92554M 

HUD proposes to add language that 

the document supersedes conflicting 

provisions in the AIA Document A201 

General Conditions of the Contract for 

Construction, for consistency with the 

FHA Multifamily Program Closing 

Guide. 

Survey Instructions and Surveyor’s 

Report, HUD–91073M 

HUD proposes revisions that are 

necessary to permit the form to work 

with new 2016 ALTA/NSPS standards 

as discussed in an FAQ from earlier this 

year. Additionally, the proposed 

revision to page one of the document 

isolates the instructions to make it 

easier for surveyors to understand HUD 

requirements and how to complete the 

form. 

Escrow for Deferred Repairs, HUD– 

92476.1M 

HUD proposes to remove the term 

‘‘Non-critical’’ throughout, in order to 

recognize the MAP Guide policy change 

to allow certain accessibility corrections 

to be paid from this escrow after initial/ 

final closing. 

Supplement to Building Loan 

Agreement, HUD–92441M–SUPP 

HUD is eliminating this form from the 

Collection of Information and use in the 

Multifamily programs, as borrower 

entities can no longer serve as their own 

general contractors and remain in 

compliance with HUD’s regulatory 

single asset entity and administrative 

requirements. 

Respondents (i.e. affected public): 

Lenders, Borrowers, Housing Finance 

Agencies, Government Agencies that 

support affordable housing, Multifamily 

Housing Developers, Lender’s Council, 

Borrower’s Council, Contractors, 

Architects, Secondary Financing 

Lenders. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

17,468. 

Estimated Number of Responses:

Frequency of Response: Once per 

annum. 

Average Hours per Response: .70

B. Solicitation of Public Comment 

This notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on 

the following: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond; including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

HUD encourages interested parties to 

submit comments in response to these 

questions. Please note that HUD will not 

mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES

41980 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2017 / Notices 

consider any redline/strikeout 

comparison documents submitted by 

commenters, as it is far too inefficient 

for the Department to consolidate and 

consider redline/strikeout versions of 

each of the documents from numerous 

interested parties, based on HUD’s past 

experience in seeking public comments 

on this information collection. HUD will 

only consider proposed changes to the 

documents listed under Section A that 

are submitted in narrative and/or 

bulleted form, accompanied by a 

detailed explanation and rationale for 

each requested change. However, 

commenters may include in their 

detailed explanation and rationale the
