SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

HUD's mortgage insurance regulations at 24 CFR 207.254 provide as follows:

Notice of future premium changes will be published in the Federal Register. The Department will propose MIP changes for multifamily mortgage insurance programs and provide a 30-day public comment period for the purpose of accepting comments on whether the proposed changes are appropriate.

Under this regulation, HUD is required to publish a notice in the Federal Register for public comment only when there are premium changes. This notice announces that the FY 2015 MIPs are the same the FY 2014 MIPs, published in the Federal Register on September 20, 2013 (FR-5737-N-01). Since HUD is not seeking to implement any premium changes for FY 2015 for the mortgage insurance programs listed in this notice, HUD is not seeking public comment.

II. Positive Credit Subsidy Programs

The Department will continue to suspend issuance and reissuance of commitments under two programs that have previously required positive credit subsidy: Section 221(d)(3) New Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation (NC/SR) for Nonprofit/Cooperative Mortgagors without LIHTC and Section 223(d) Operating Loss Loans for Apartments.

The MIPs to be in effect for FHA Firm Commitments issued or reissued in FY 2015 are shown in the chart below:
