tremists in Iraq into a Hezbollah-like force that could
serve its interests inside Iraq, including by over-

graph, except that notwithstanding subparagraph (A),

SEC. 207. RISK-BASED MORTGAGE INSURANCE PREMIUMS. 
Section 203(c) of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 
1709(c)), as amended by the preceding provisions of this 
subtitle, is further amended by adding at the end the fol-
lowing new paragraphs: 
‘‘(4) FLEXIBLE RISK-BASED PREMIUMS.—In the case 
of a mortgage referred to in paragraph (2)(C) or a mortgage 
described in the third sentence of subparagraph (A) of para-
graph (2) (relating to mortgages for which amounts are gift-
ed by a nonprofit qualified homeownership assistance enti-
ty), for which the loan application is received by the mort-
gagee on or after the date of the enactment of the Expanding 
American Homeownership Act of 2008: 
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary may establish 
a mortgage insurance premium structure involving a 
single premium payment collected prior to the insur-
ance of the mortgage or annual payments (which may 
be collected on a periodic basis), or both, subject to the
requirements of subparagraph (B) and paragraph (5). 
Under such structure, the rate of premiums for such 
a mortgage may vary according to the credit risk as-
sociated with the mortgage and the rate of any an-
nual premium for such a mortgage may vary during 
the mortgage term as long as the basis for deter-
mining the variable rate is established before the exe-
cution of the mortgage. The Secretary may change a 
premium structure established under this subclause 
but only to the extent that such change is not applied 
to any mortgage already executed. 
‘‘(B) ESTABLISHMENT AND ALTERATION OF PRE-
MIUM STRUCTURE.—A premium structure shall be es-
tablished or changed under subparagraph (A) only by 
providing notice to mortgagees and to the Congress, at 
least 30 days before the premium structure is estab-
lished or changed. 
‘‘(C) ANNUAL REPORT REGARDING PREMIUMS.— 
The Secretary shall submit a report to the Congress 
annually setting forth the rate structures and rates es-
tablished and altered pursuant to this paragraph dur-
ing the preceding 12-month period and describing 
how such rates were determined. 
‘‘(5) CONSIDERATIONS FOR PREMIUM STRUCTURE.— 
When establishing premiums for mortgages referred to in
paragraph (2)(C), establishing premiums pursuant to para-
graph (3), establishing a premium structure under para-
graph (4), and when changing such a premium structure, 
the Secretary shall consider the following: 
‘‘(A) The effect of the proposed premiums or 
structure on the Secretary’s ability to meet the oper-
ational goals of the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund 
as provided in section 202(a). 
‘‘(B) Underwriting variables. 
‘‘(C) The extent to which new pricing under the 
proposed premiums or structure has potential for ac-
ceptance in the private market. 
‘‘(D) The administrative capability of the Sec-
retary to administer the proposed premiums or struc-
ture. 
‘‘(E) The effect of the proposed premiums or 
structure on the Secretary’s ability to maintain the 
availability of mortgage credit and provide stability 
to mortgage markets. 
‘‘(6) AUTHORITY
TO BASE PREMIUM PRICES
ON 
PRODUCT RISK.— 
‘‘(A) AUTHORITY.—In establishing premium 
rates under paragraphs (2), (3), and (4), the Sec-
retary may provide for variations in such rates ac-
cording to the credit risk associated with the type of
mortgage product that is being insured under this 
title, which may include providing that premium 
rates differ between fixed-rate mortgages and adjust-
able-rate mortgages insured pursuant to section 251, 
between mortgages insured pursuant to section 203(b) 
and mortgages for condominiums insured pursuant to 
section 234, and between such other products as the 
Secretary considers appropriate. 
‘‘(B) LIMITATION.—Subparagraph (A) may not 
be construed to authorize the Secretary to establish, 
for any mortgage product, any mortgage insurance 
premium rate that does not comply with the require-
ments and limitations under paragraphs (2) through 
(5).’’.
