A. Overview of Information Collection

Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
Form Numbers: HUD-5985L, HUD-5985B, and HUD-5985IRR.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD is adding to the collection two (2) documents (HUD-5985L and HUD-5985B) that will be used to facilitate uniform electronic closings of FHA-insured commercial mortgage closings, allow for the use of digital signatures and digital records where they are consistent with program obligations, and determine the parties' compliance with applicable legal requirements and therefore ensure protection of the FHA insurance fund; and one (1) document (HUD-5985IRR) that will be used by the FHA Lender to certify to HUD certain conditions required as part of a request to reduce the interest rate of an existing FHA-insured commercial mortgage (often due to market fluctuations that lower the interest rate and save the project money by making this reduction). In addition, the name of this collection is being changed from COVID19 HUD Contingency Plan for HUD Multifamily Rental Project Closing Documents to Electronic Closing and Continued First Lien Priority Certificates for FHA-Insured Commercial Mortgage Transactions.
