Verbatim regulatory text
Verbatim provisions from 7 CFR Part 3555 — USDA Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program § 3555.53 — Contracting for loan origination — each quote is a verified substring of the regulator-published source snapshot, not retyped. Quoted for reference; this is not legal advice. The operational layer (P&P updates, prompts) lives in the regulation update kits.
7 CFR §3555.53
Lenders may contract with mortgage brokers, non-approved lenders, or other entities for loan origination services, closing services, or both, provided the loan is transferred immediately after closing to an Agency approved lender to which the guarantee will be issued. The approved lender is responsible for ensuring that the loan is properly underwritten, obtaining the conditional commitment, ensuring that the loan is properly closed, and ensuring that all closing costs, financing, and settlement fees meet Agency program requirements.
Operationalizing 7 CFR Part 3555 — USDA Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program § 3555.53 — Contracting for loan origination
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
