Title: Single Family Housing Guaranteed Rural Housing Programs--Delegated Approval Authority and Strengthening Management Oversight 
Abstract:

The Rural Housing Service intends to publish a proposed rule to amend 7 CFR 3555 to delegate loan approval authority to delegated lenders, (i.e., those whose loans have performed well and demonstrated strong underwriting capability, to benefit the program and its stakeholders). Delegated lenders would be responsible for certifying that both the applicant and property meet all program eligibility and underwriting requirements and thus are eligible for the guarantee without the prior review by agency staff which takes place today. The changes are expected to speed up approval processing times, which benefit applicants, delegated lenders, and the Agency.
