Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use

The purpose of the Letter of Transmittal is to provide issuers with a form to transmit documentation to Ginnie Mae when requesting Ginnie Mae's action on certain activities such as requests for commitment authority and pool numbers. The Resolution of Board of Directors and Certificate of Authorized Signature is used by the issuers to provide a list of the names and signatures of officers of the company authorized to execute documents with respect to issuance of securities. The Master Servicing Agreement is used to provide assurance to Ginnie Mae that servicing the mortgages backing the securities approved for issuance will be performed in accordance with acceptable standards of mortgage servicing. It is also used to determine whether the issuer of the pool is the sole servicer or whether the issuer has established a sub- contract servicer arrangement with another institution to perform certain servicing functions on behalf of the issuer.

Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD form 11700, 11702, and 11707.

Members of affected public: For profit business (mortgage companies, thrifts, savings & loans, etc.)
