SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 22, 1994, the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development (``Department'') published a final rule 
in the Federal Register (59 FR 48726) [[Page 14775]] containing 
provisions set forth in 24 CFR 290.202 for selling nonperforming, 
unsubsidized mortgage loans. The first auction of these mortgage loans 
is scheduled for March 28, 1995 and involves the sale of mortgage loans 
secured by properties located in the Southeastern United States 
(``Southeast Auction''). The sale was announced by a notice published 
in the Federal Register on January 13, 1995 (60 FR 3255).
    This notice sets forth the sale procedures and other information 
relevant to the sale scheduled for March 28, 1995. The following are 
changes, modifications and/or amplifications to those sale procedures 
previously published. Except as expressly set forth below, the 
procedures set forth in the Federal Register on January 13, 1995 remain 
effective.
    Ineligible Bidders. The following individuals and entities (either 
alone or in combination with others) are ineligible to bid on any one 
or combination of the mortgage loans included in the Southeast Auction:
    (1) Any employee of the Department;
    (2) Any individual or entity that is debarred from doing business 
with the Department pursuant to 24 CFR part 24;
    (3) Any contractor, subcontractor and/or consultant (including any 
agent of the foregoing) who performed services for, or on behalf of, 
the Department in connection with the Southeast Auction;
    (4) Any individual that was a principal and/or employee of any 
entity or individual described in paragraph (3) above at any time 
during which the entity or individual performed services for, or on 
behalf of, the Department in connection with the Southeast Auction;
    (5) Any entity or individual that served as a loan servicer or 
performed other services for, or on behalf of the Department, with 
respect to any of the mortgage loans included in the Southeast Auction 
at any time during the two-year period prior to March 28, 1995; and
    (6) Any individual that was a principal and/or employee of any 
entity or individual described in paragraph (5) above at any time 
during the two year period prior to March 28, 1995, except, however, 
any entity or individual described in paragraphs (5) and (6) shall be 
permitted (subject to the terms and conditions of any agreement the 
entity or individual has previously entered into in connection with the 
Southeast Auction and/or other agreements entered into with, or on 
behalf of, the Department), to:
    (i) Perform services as a consultant and/or advisor to any bidder 
who is eligible to bid at the Southeast Auction, provided that such 
services do not involve the use of any materials or information not 
otherwise available to the general public that were produced or 
developed for, or on behalf of, the Department; and
    (ii) Bid on any of the mortgage loans included in the Southeast 
Auction that were not serviced by such entity or individual described 
in paragraphs (5) or (6) at any time during the two year period prior 
to March 28, 1995.
    Number of Bids. A bidder may bid on as many individual mortgage 
loans as the bidder chooses. However, no bidder may bid on more than 
ten (10) pools of mortgage loans (i.e., combinations of two or more 
mortgage loans).
    Timely Bids and Deposits. Each bidder assumes all risks of loss 
relating to its failure to deliver, or cause to be delivered, on a 
timely basis and in the manner specified by the Department, each bid 
form, earnest money deposit and loan sale agreement required to be 
submitted by the bidder.
    Ties for High Bidder. In the event there is a tie for a high bid, 
the Department, through its financial advisor, will contact the parties 
with the tie bid and afford each of them an opportunity to offer a best 
and final bid. The successful bidder will be the one with the highest 
bid. If a tie continues after the best and final offers are submitted 
or the bidders do not respond, or do not respond within the time period 
established by the Department, the successful bidder will be determined 
by lottery. Notwithstanding the above, the Department reserves the 
right to withdraw any mortgage loan(s) subject to a tie bid.
    Nonperforming Status of Mortgage Loans. Almost all of the mortgage 
loans included in the Southeast Auction are nonperforming. However, 
some of the mortgage loans may become performing on or before the date 
that title to the mortgage loan(s) is transferred to the successful 
bidder.
    Dated: March 13, 1995.
Jeanne K. Engel,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 
Commissioner.
