SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Institution Master File (IMF) System 
formerly maintained a file of institutions (Title I lenders and Title 
II mortgagees) which have been approved by HUD to participate in the 
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Mortgage Insurance Programs. The 
principal objective of the IMF was to consolidate information on the 
approval status of mortgagees and lenders participating in FHA's 
insurance program. The Leader Electronic Assessment Portal (LEAP) has 
replaced IMF's role as the system of records and IMF no longer 
processes lender institution information. The active records for IMF 
were transferred to LEAP. Any records past its retention time were sent 
to the Records Warehouse.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    Institution Master File (IMF).

HISTORY:
    The previously published notice in the Federal Register [Docket 
Number FR-5291-N-05], on August 25, 2009, at 74 FR 42910.

Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Administration.
