HUD/HUDSEC RIN: 2501-AD26 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Mortgagee Review Board (FR-5082) 
Abstract: This rule would make changes to the Department's Mortgagee Review Board regulations to reflect statutory directives and amend current practice. This rule would modify the procedures governing sanction hearings to allow matters to move to the hearing officer directly, rather than by referral of the hearing official. The rule would also remove the requirements that the Board approve any action or suspension or debarment. Additional revisions proposed by this rule would remove provisions that unnecessarily duplicate the authorizing statute and would clarify the authority and duties of the Board in taking administrative action against FHA-approved mortgagees. This rule would separate and clarify the grounds for administrative action and the factors considered by the Board in evaluating whether to take administrative action, as well as require the mortgagee to address these factors in its response to the Board's notice of violation.
