(4)Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, *e.g.,* permitting electronic submission of responses. This Notice also lists the following information: *Title of Proposal:* Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Program Documents. *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. 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 Single Class 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 securities (“MBS”) pursuant to 306(g)(2) of the NHA (12 U.S.C. 1271(g)(2)). Since the multiclass securities 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 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 residential 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 and Platinum securities. *Agency form numbers, if applicable:* Not applicable. *Members of affected public:* For-profit business (mortgage companies, thrift, savings & loans, *etc.* ). *Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection, including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response:* Type of information collection Type of information collection (prepared by) Number of participants/respondents Frequency per year information submitted Estimated annual frequency Estimated average time to complete information Estimated annual burden hours REMIC Securities: Pricing Letter Sponsor 16 10 160 0.5 50 Structured Term Sheet Sponsor 16 10 160 3 300 Trust Agreement Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 1 100 Trust Opinion Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 4 400 MX Trust Agreement Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 0.16 16 MX Trust Opinion Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 4 400 RR Certificate Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 0.08 8 Sponsor Agreement Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 0.05 5 Table of Contents Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 0.33 33 Issuance Statement Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 0.5 50 Tax Opinion Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 4 400 Transfer Affidavit Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 0.08 8 Supplemental Statement Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 1 100 Final Data Statements (attached to closing letter) Attorney for Sponsor 16 10 160 32 3200 Accountants' Closing Letter Accountant 16 10 160 8 800 Accountants' OSC Letter Accountant 16 10 160 8 800 Structuring Data Accountant 16 10 160 8 800 Financial Statements Accountant 16 10 160 1 160 Principal and Interest Factor File Specifications Trustee 16 10 160 16 1600 Distribution Dates and Statement Trustee 16 10 160 0.42 42 Term Sheet Trustee 16 10 160 2 200 New Issue File Layout Trustee 16 10 160 4 400 Flow of Funds Attorney for Trustee 16 10 160 0.16 16 Trustee Receipt Trustee Attorney 16 10 160 2 200 Data Verification Form Trustee 16 10 160 1 160 Total 4000 16057.6 Platinum Securities: Deposit Agreement Depositor 16 10 160 1 100 MBS Schedule Depositor 16 10 160 0.16 16 New Issue File Layout Depositor 16 10 160 4 400 Principal and Interest Factor File Specifications Trustee 16 10 160 16 2560 Data Verification Form Trustee 16 10 160 1 160 Total 800 3398.4 Total Burden Hours 4800 19456 *Calculation of Burden Hours:* Participants × Frequency per Year = Estimated Annual Frequency.
