Title of Proposal: Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Program

Documents. (Forms and Electronic Data Submissions).

OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2503-0017.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This information collection is required in connection with the operation of the Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities program. Ginnie Mae's authority to guarantee multiclass instruments is contained in 306(g)(1) of the

National Housing Act (``NHA'') (12 U.S.C.

Page 5337

1721(g)(1)), which authorizes Ginnie Mae to guarantee ``securities * *

* based on or backed by a trust or pool composed of mortgages. * * *''

Multiclass securities are backed by Ginnie Mae securities, which are backed by government insured or guaranteed mortgages. Ginnie Mae's authority to operate a Multiclass Securities program is recognized in

Section 3004 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993

(``OBRA''), which amended 306(g)(3) of the NHA (12 U.S.C. 1271(g)(3)) to provide Ginnie Mae with greater flexibility for the Multiclass

Securities program regarding fee structure, contracting, industry consultation, and program implementation. Congress annually sets Ginnie

Mae's commitment authority to guarantee mortgage-backed (``MBS'') pursuant to 306(G)(2) of the NHA (12 U.S.C. 1271(g)(2)). Since the multiclass are backed by Ginnie Mae Single Class MBS, Ginnie Mae has already guaranteed the collateral for the multiclass instruments.

The Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Program consists of Ginnie Mae

Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (``REMIC'') securities,

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities (``SMBS''), and Platinum securities. The Multiclass Securities program provides an important adjunct to Ginnie Mae's secondary mortgage market activities, allowing the private sector to combine and restructure cash flows from Ginnie

Mae Single Class MBS into securities that meet unique investor requirements in connection with yield, maturity, and call-option protection. The intent of the Multiclass Securities program is to increase liquidity in the secondary mortgage market and to attract new sources of capital for federally insured or guaranteed loans. Under this program, Ginnie Mae guarantees, with the full faith and credit of the United States, the timely payment of principal and interest on

Ginnie Mae REMIC, SMBS and Platinum securities.

Agency form numbers, if applicable: Not applicable.

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