Title: ●7 CFR Part 3550 Modernization and Improvement of Single Family Housing Direct Programs 
Abstract:

These proposed updates would move to a national streamlined approach of homeownership education provider approval; alleviate appraisal, title insurance, and escrow requirements reducing cost to the borrower and Agency; improve certified loan application packaging; remove reference to program handbooks, where necessary; and clarify program application withdrawal procedures. This rulemaking also supports Executive Orders by removing rescinded references within the regulation.
