    paragraph_quote: 'a. Requirements for All Post-approval Changes (09/14/2015) i.
      Types of Notification (A) Information Update An Information Update is any change
      to a Mortgagee’s basic institution or branch information in the FHA systems
      that can be directly managed by the Mortgagee. (B) Notice of Material Event
      A Notice of Material Event is the method of submitting a required notice to
      FHA of a change to the information provided by the Mortgagee at application
      as evidence of approval eligibility, or a change that affects the Mortgagee’s
      standing as an FHA- approved Mortgagee. (C) Change Request A Change Request
      is the method of submitting information and/or business changes to FHA that
      requires FHA review and approval before acceptance. Any update or change that
      cannot be made by the Mortgagee directly is submitted as a Change Request. ii.
      Standard The Mortgagee must submit all Information Updates, Notices of Material
      Event, and Change Requests to FHA using LEAP. All Information Updates, Notices
      of Material Event, and Change Requests must be submitted within 10 business
      days of the change, unless otherwise specified below. Any change not specifically
      described in this Handbook 4000.1 that affects a Mortgagee’s approval status
      or conduct of business with HUD must be reported to FHA with a detailed explanation
      and supporting documentation. iii. Required Documentation The Mortgagee must:
      • include a cover letter signed by a Corporate Officer summarizing the business
      change(s); and • submit any required documents as specified in Application and
      Eligibility Requirements for Approval or as described in the LEAP User Manual.'
