under this section may be made to a nonprofit organiza-
tion, an agency or body of any State government or politi-
cal subdivision thereof, or a private entity.

such terms are defined in section 515(e)) that—
‘‘(1) consists of 5 or more adequate dwellings;
‘‘(2) is available for occupancy only by low or

mined by the Secretary;

graph (2), according to such binding commitments
as the Secretary may require, for the period of the
original term of the loan guaranteed, unless the

323
family housing that are to be sold to such cor-
porations; or
‘‘(C) meets any qualifications that the Sec-
retary may, by regulation, establish for partici-
pation of lenders in the loan guarantee program
under this section.
‘‘(2) ELIGIBILITY LIST AND ANNUAL AUDIT.—
The Secretary shall establish a list of eligible lenders
and shall annually conduct an audit of each lender
included in the list for purposes of determining
whether such lender continues to be an eligible
lender.
‘‘(f) LOAN TERMS.—Each loan guaranteed pursuant
to this subsection shall—
‘‘(1) provide for complete amortization by peri-
odic payments to be made for a term not to exceed
40 years;
‘‘(2) involve a rate of interest agreed upon by
the borrower and the lender that does not exceed the
maximum allowable rate established by the Secretary
for purposes of this section and is fixed over the
term of the loan;
‘‘(3) involve a principal obligation (including
initial service charges, appraisal, inspection, and
324
other fees as the Secretary may approve) not to

ed facilities or the value of the housing and fa-
cilities, whichever is less;

part of the property as may be attributable to
dwelling use, the applicable maximum per unit
dollar amount limitations under section 207(c)

housing and related facilities for which the loan is

under this section, the Secretary shall provide the
borrower with assistance in the form of credits pur-
325
suant to section 521(a)(1)(B) to the extent nec-
essary to reduce the rate of interest under para-
graph (2) to the applicable Federal rate, as such

Revenue Code of 1986.
‘‘(g) GUARANTEE FEE.—At the time of issuance of
a loan guaranteed under this section, the Secretary may
collect from the lender a fee equal to not more than 1
percent of the principal obligation of the loan.
‘‘(h) AUTHORITY FOR LENDERS TO ISSUE CERTIFI-
CATES OF GUARANTEE.—The Secretary may authorize
certain eligible lenders to determine whether a loan meets
the requirements for guarantee under this section and,
subject to the availability of authority to enter into guar-
antees under this section, execute a firm commitment for
a guarantee binding upon the Secretary and issue a certifi-
cate of guarantee evidencing a guarantee, without review
and approval by the Secretary of the specific loan. The
Secretary may establish standards for approving eligible
lenders for a delegation of authority under this subsection.
‘‘(i) PAYMENT UNDER GUARANTEE.—
‘‘(1) NOTICE OF DEFAULT.—In the event of de-
fault by the borrower on a loan guaranteed under
this section, the holder of the guarantee certificate
326
for the loan shall provide written notice of the de-
fault to the Secretary.
‘‘(2) FORECLOSURE.—After receiving notice
under paragraph (1) and providing written notice of
action under this paragraph to the Secretary, the
holder of the guarantee certificate for the loan may
initiate foreclosure proceedings for the loan in a
court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with
regulations issued by the Secretary, to obtain posses-
sion of the security property. After the court issues
a final order authorizing foreclosure on the property,
the holder of the certificate shall be entitled to pay-
ment by the Secretary under the guarantee (in the
amount provided under subsection (b)) upon (A)
conveyance to the Secretary of title to the security
property, (B) submission to the Secretary of a claim
for payment under the guarantee, and (C) assign-
ment to the Secretary of all the claims of the holder
of the guarantee against the borrower or others aris-
ing out of the loan transaction or foreclosure pro-
ceedings, except claims released with the consent of
the Secretary.
‘‘(3) ASSIGNMENT
BY
SECRETARY.—After re-
ceiving notice under paragraph (1), the Secretary
may accept assignment of the loan if the Secretary
327
determines that the assignment is in the best inter-
ests of the United States. Assignment of a loan
under this paragraph shall include conveyance to the
Secretary of title to the security property, assign-
ment to the Secretary of all rights and interests
arising under the loan, and assignment to the Sec-
retary of all claims against the borrower or others
arising out of the loan transaction. Upon assignment
of a loan under this paragraph, the holder of a guar-
antee certificate for the loan shall be entitled to pay-
ment by the Secretary under the guarantee (in the
amount provided under subsection (b)).
‘‘(4) REQUIREMENTS.—Before any payment
under a guarantee is made under paragraph (2) or
(3), the holder of the guarantee certificate shall ex-
haust all reasonable possibilities of collection on the
loan guaranteed. Upon payment, in whole or in part,
to the holder, the note or judgment evidencing the
debt shall be assigned to the United States and the
holder shall have no further claim against the bor-
rower or the United States. The Secretary shall then
take such action to collect as the Secretary deter-
mines appropriate.
‘‘(j) VIOLATION OF GUARANTEE REQUIREMENTS BY
LENDERS ISSUING GUARANTEES.—
328
‘‘(1) INDEMNIFICATION.—If the Secretary de-
termines that a loan guaranteed by an eligible lender
pursuant to delegation of authority under subsection
(h) was not originated in accordance with the re-
quirements under this section and the Secretary
pays a claim under the guarantee for the loan, the
Secretary may require the eligible lender authorized
under subsection (h) to issue the guarantee certifi-
cate for the loan—
‘‘(A) to indemnify the Secretary for the
loss, if the payment under the guarantee was
made within a reasonable period specified by
the Secretary; or
‘‘(B) to indemnify the Secretary for the
loss regardless of when payment under the
guarantee was made, if the Secretary deter-
mines that fraud or misrepresentation was in-
volved in connection with the origination of the
loan.
‘‘(2) TERMINATION OF AUTHORITY TO ISSUE
GUARANTEES.—The Secretary may cancel a delega-
tion of authority under subsection (h) to an eligible
lender if the Secretary determines that the lender
has violated the requirements and procedures for
guaranteed loans under this section or for other
329
good cause. Any such cancellation shall be made by
giving notice to the eligible lender and shall take ef-
fect upon receipt of the notice by the mortgagee or
at a later date, as the Secretary may provide. A de-
cision by the Secretary to cancel a delegation shall
be final and conclusive and shall not be subject to
judicial review.
‘‘(k) REFINANCING.—Any loan guaranteed under this
section may be refinanced and extended in accordance
with terms and conditions that the Secretary shall pre-
scribe, but in no event for an additional amount or term
that exceeds the limitations under subsection (f).
‘‘(l) NONASSUMPTION.—The borrower under a loan
that is guaranteed under this section and under which any
portion of the principal obligation or interest remains out-
standing may not be relieved of liability with respect to
the loan, notwithstanding the transfer of property for
which the loan was made.
‘‘(m) GEOGRAPHICAL TARGETING.—
‘‘(1) STUDY.—The Secretary shall provide for
an independent entity to conduct a study to deter-
mine the extent to which borrowers in the United
States will utilize loan guarantees under this section,
the rural areas in the United States in which bor-
rowers can best utilize and most need loans guaran-
330
teed under this section, and the rural areas in the
United States in which housing of the type eligible
for a loan guarantee under this section is most need-
ed by low- and moderate-income families. The Sec-
retary shall require the independent entity conduct-
ing the study to submit a report to the Secretary

lished under section 515(m) for housing and related facili-
ties assisted under section 515 shall apply to housing and
