ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Rural Housing and Community Development Service (RHCDS) announces a pilot test of software to provide an automated interface between RHCDS and borrowers with Multiple Family Housing (MFH) projects to exchange MFH tenant information. The objective of the automated interface is to dramatically reduce reporting burden and streamline internal processing. DATES: Borrowers who have projects in the pilot servicing offices and wish to participate in the pilot should contact their servicing office after June 1, 1995. Servicing offices participating in the pilot will receive informational packages for distribution by June 1, 1995. ADDRESSES: RECD servicing offices participating in the pilot are as follows: RECD State Office, 3003 North Central Avenue, Suite 900, Phoenix, Arizona 85012. RECD District Office, 4362 North Lake Boulevard, Suite 105, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410. RECD District Office, 3260 Eagle Park Drive, Suite 101C, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49505.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry Anderson, Senior Loan Specialist, Multiple Family Housing Servicing and Property Management Division (MHSPM), RHCDS, Room 5321 South Agriculture Building, Washington, DC 20250, telephone (202) 720- 1611. (This is not a toll free number.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The pilot test is scheduled to begin during June 1995, and will be conducted in five local servicing offices. The pilot will determine if software developed by RHCDS can effectively transmit tenant data from borrower management sites to the servicing office. No ending date for the pilot has been established at this time. During a later phase of the pilot, software developed by private vendors will be permitted to transmit information through the pilot system. To assist private software developers who wish to participate in the second phase of the pilot, the RHCDS National Office will provide a copy of the official information transmission format upon request. On June 1, 1995, at 2:00 PM, a meeting with RHCDS and interested software and housing industry representatives will be held in Room 0204, South Agriculture Building, 14th and Independence Avenue, Washington, DC, to discuss the pilot and other automation issues. Any individual or group interested in MFH automation is welcome to attend. During the pilot period, RHCDS will work closely with borrowers to assure the successful completion of the pilot. Administrative flexibility will be provided to accommodate tenant data submission in a pilot environment. Borrowers interested in participating in the pilot may contact the appropriate servicing office address above for more information. Dated: May 19, 1995.
