This Notice also lists the following information: *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. 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 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 Mutliclass 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.). *Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response:* REMIC Securities Type of information collection Prepared by Number of potential sponsors Estimated annual frequency per respondent Total annual responses Est. average hrly burden Est. annual burden hrs Pricing Letter Sponsor 19 8 152 0.5 76 Structured Term Sheet Sponsor 19 8 152 3 456 Trust (REMIC) Agreement Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 1 152 Trust Opinion Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 4 608 MX Trust Agreement Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 0.16 24.32 MX Trust Opinion Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 4 608 RR Certificate Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 0.08 12.16 Sponsor Agreement Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 0.05 7.6 Table of Contents Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 0.33 50.16 Issuance Statement Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 0.5 76 Tax Opinion Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 4 608 Transfer Affidavit Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 0.08 12.16 Supplemental Statement Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 1 152 Final Data Statements (attached to closing letter) Attorney for Sponsor 19 8 152 32 4864 Accountants' Closing Letter Accountant 19 8 152 8 1216 Accountants' OSC Letter Accountant 19 8 152 8 1216 Structuring Data Accountant 19 8 152 8 1216 Financial Statements Accountant 19 8 160 1 160 Principal and Interest Factor File Specifications Trustee 19 8 152 16 2432 Distribution Dates and Statement Trustee 19 8 152 0.42 63.84 Term Sheet Sponsor 19 8 152 2 304 New Issue File Layout Trustee 19 8 152 4 608 Flow of Funds Attorney for Trustee 19 8 152 0.16 24.32 Trustee Receipt Trustee Attorney 19 8 152 2 304 Data Verification Form Trustee 19 8 152 0.08 12.16 Total 3808 15262.72 SMBS Securities Type of information collection (Prepared by) No. of potential sponsors Estimated annual frequency per respondent Total annual responses Est. average hrly burden Est. annual burden hrs Pricing Letter Sponsor 19 1 19 0.5 9.5 Strucutred Term Sheet Sponsor 19 1 19 3 57 Trust (REMIC) Agreement Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 1 19 Trust Opinion Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 4 76 MX Trust Agreement Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 0.16 3.04 MX Trust Opinion Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 4 76 RR Certificate Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 0.08 1.52 Sponsor Agreement Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 0.05 0.95 Table of Contents Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 0.33 6.27 Issuance Statement Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 0.5 9.5 Tax Opinion Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 4 76 Transfer Affidavit Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 0.08 1.52 Supplemental Statement Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 1 19 Final Data Statements (attached to closing letter) Attorney for Sponsor 19 1 19 32 608 Accountants' Closing Letter Accountant 19 1 19 8 152 Accountants' OSC Letter Accountant 19 1 19 8 152 Structuring Data Accountant 19 1 19 8 152 Financial Statements Accountant 19 1 160 1 160 Principal and Interest Factor File Specifications Trustee 19 1 19 16 304 Distribution Dates and Statement Trustee 19 1 19 0.42 7.98 Term Sheet Sponsor 19 1 19 2 38 New Issue File Layout Trustee 19 1 19 4 76 Flow of Funds Attorney for Trustee 19 1 19 0.16 3.04 Trustee Receipt Trustee Attorney 19 1 19 2 38 Data Verification Form Trustee 19 1 19 0.08 1.52 Total 616 2047.84 Platinum Securities Type of information collection Prepared by Number of potential sponsors Estimated annual frequency per respondent Total annual responses Estimated average hourly burden Estimated annual burden hours Deposit Agreement Depositor 19 10 190 1 190 MBS Schedule Depositor 19 10 190 0.16 30.4 New Issue File Layout Depositor 19 10 190 4 760 Principal and Interest Factor File Specifications Trustee 19 10 190 16 3040 Data Verification Form Trustee 19 10 190 0.08 12.2 Total 950 4035.6 Total Burden Hours 21346.16 *Calculation of Burden Hours:* Sponsors × Frequency per Year = Est.
