      a six-month production period. Prior to submitting a pool or loan package to the PPA, an Issuer must have
      adequate commitment authority to cover the aggregate dollar amount of the pool or loan package. An Issuer
      risks delay or the return of its pool or loan package submission if it does not have adequate commitment authority
      available when it submits the pool or loan package. Commitment authority is not required to issue pools consolidating
      any or all bond financed pools issued as a result of a bond series. To participate in the multifamily programs,
      the Issuer must obtain multiline commitment authority. Multiline commitment authority cannot be used for other
      pool types, nor can other commitment authority be used for multifamily pools. (1) Transfers: Except in the

      year after the month in which it is approved. For example, if single family commitment authority is approved

      commitment authority expires on the last day of the month two years after the month in which it is approved.
      (3) Conditions for use: In order to obtain or utilize approved commitment authority, an Issuer must be in
      compliance with the conditions stated in the commitment, the eligibility requirements described in MBS Guide,
      Ch. 2 and 3, and any remaining requirements imposed on Issuers in the applicable Guaranty Agreement and this
      Guide. Failure to do so is cause for Ginnie Mae to prohibit the Issuer''s use of its existing commitment line
      and to deny requests for new commitment authority or pool or loan package numbers. (4) Limit to commitment
      authority: The total annual amount of commitment authority that Ginnie Mae can approve in any federal fiscal
      year is limited by statute and administrative procedures. Generally, the amount available for a full fiscal
      year (October 1 through the following September 30) will be known by October 1st. If, however, an appropriation
      act has not passed, or if other circumstances intervene, Ginnie Mae may not know at the start of a fiscal
      year how much commitment authority will be available for that year. In the event that the available commitment
      authority is so constrained that Ginnie Mae must allocate it among applicants, Ginnie Mae may not approve
      the full amount of commitment authority requested or for which the Issuer is eligible. Section C. Commitment

      approved. Issuers are encouraged to carefully monitor their available commitment line balances in order to
      avoid a potential delay associated with insufficient commitment authority balances. Ginnie Mae will not be
      responsible for an Issuer’s pools that fail to fund on the assigned funding date due to insufficient commitment
      authority. It is each Issuer''s responsibility to monitor its own commitment line balance. Ginnie Mae will
      provide each Issuer with a statement of remaining commitment authority and unused pool or loan package numbers
      once a year, usually 30 days after the end of the Issuer’s fiscal year. The Issuer can request interim statements,

    paragraph_quote: ': 2013-12-16 Commitment authority and requests for pool or loan package numbers are processed
      through the applicable modules under the IPMS tab in the Ginnie Mae Enterprise Portal (GMEP). (1) Pool numbers:
      The Issuer determines the number of pool numbers needed, and enters the request under the ‘Request Pool Numbers’
      tab in GMEP. The system will then compare the request to the number of number of pools issued in the prior
      three months. If the request does not exceed the number issued, the request will be granted automatically.
      However, if the number requested exceeds the number issued, then the Issuer will need to submit a justification
      to Ginnie Mae for approval or denial. For specific instructions, please see Appendix II-1. (2) Commitment
      Authority: The Issuer, in consultation with its Account Executive, determines the amount of commitment authority
      to be requested. Generally speaking the amount is approximately six months’ worth of pool issuance volume.
      The Issuer’s Assigned Representative, using the assigned RSA Token, then enters the Issuer’s request into
      the ‘Request Commitment Authority’ tab in GMEP, and the system will then calculate the fee. For specific instructions,
      please see Appendix II-2 PPA will draft the fee from the account designated by the Issuer and review the request.
      If the Issuer meets Ginnie Mae’s eligibility requirements the request will be approved. The Issuer is notified
      of the commitment authority approval via the Issuer’s GMEP registered email address. If the request is revised
      downward to a lesser amount or denied, the Issuer will be notified by email or telephone and provided the
      reason for curtailment or rejection. Ginnie Mae will refund the fee associated with the curtailment or rejection.'
