A. Only the MAP Lender Review Board may suspend a Lender’s MAP eligibility, which suspension will not exceed 12 months except when special conditions are imposed. If both a time limit and special conditions are imposed, suspension will terminate only when the later of the time limit, or the resolution of the special conditions, has occurred. The MAP Lender must submit a certification of compliance with the conditions to the Board and the Board must notify the Lender that it is satisfied that the corrective actions have occurred. A MAP Lender may be suspended from all MAP programs or only from specific programs, depending on the offense that was the basis for the suspension sanction, in HUD’s sole discretion.

B. During the suspension period, a MAP Lender may not submit, and a HUD production office may not accept, materials after the close of business on the date of the suspension letter, for a new pre-application or Firm Commitment application for all MAP programs or for just the programs that were the subject of the suspension action. If either a new pre-application or Firm Commitment application is received after the date of the suspension letter, it must be returned to the MAP Lender.

C. During the suspension period, a Lender may continue to process any pre-application or Firm Commitment application that was submitted to a HUD production office before the date of the suspension letter, unless one or more active applications are specifically suspended as noted in the Notice of Action.

D. Suspension will be in effect nationwide and the Lender’s name shall be removed from the MAPApproved Lender list for all MAP programs or for just the programs that were the subject of the suspension action. When suspension has ended, the Lender’s name shall be re-posted to the list.

E. In accordance with the sanction and notice procedures of this chapter, the Notice of Action placing a Lender on suspension will be:

Sent electronically and by overnight delivery.
Addressed to the MAP Lender’s contact person as listed on the MAP website.
Signed for by an employee of the MAP Lender upon receipt.
