SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in

The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on the

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Ginnie Mae Digital Collateral
Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2503-0034.
Type of Request: Reinstatement.
Form Number: HUD-11701A; HUD-11701B; HUD-11708-SI.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Adapting to the needs of the industry, Ginnie Mae is permitting the
securitization of mortgage loans where the note is an eligible eNote.
The forms in this request are new forms that are necessary due to the
unique requirements of managing eNotes and eMortgages. This collection
permits Ginnie Mae to verify: (1) that eIssuers and eMortgages have the
specialized knowledge and experience to participate; (2) that eIssuers
and eCustodians have the technological capability to service eMortgages
and safeguard eMortgage documents; (3) the name and location of the
entities responsible for the various Ginnie Mae accounts and eMortgage
documents, and (4) those entities that are responsible for servicing
the eMortgages that back the Ginnie Mae pools. Ginnie Mae needs this
information to mitigate risk and evaluate its business operations,
procedures and programs, and assist lenders in processing borrower
requests more efficiently. Ginnie Mae also requires the collection of
information to ensure that there are no deficiencies, which could
affect the pass through of securities to its investors.
Based upon feedback received about the eIssuer Application form
(HUD-11701A), we have revised the instructions. The only revision is to
the form's instructions which now address subservicing by the eIssuer
Applicant.
