Verbatim regulatory text
Verbatim provisions from USDA SFH Guaranteed Loan Program Technical Handbook HB-1-3555 ¶3.6 — Lender Responsibility — 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.
USDA HB-1-3555, Chapter 3, § 3.6 — Lender Responsibility
The lender will be responsible for the processing and servicing of the loan and may use third party originators, such as agents or correspondents, in carrying out its responsibilities. Lenders are fully responsible for their own actions and the actions of those acting on the lender’s behalf. The approved lender must adhere to SFHGLP guidelines as outlined in Chapter 4, Paragraph 4.8. x Processing. The lender must abide by restrictions on loan purposes, loan limitations, interest rates, and terms set forth in 7 CFR 3555 and this Handbook. The lender will underwrite the loan and submit the necessary items as outlined in Chapter 15 in order to receive a Conditional Commitment. The agent may close the loan in its name, provided the loan is immediately transferred to the approved lender to whom the guarantee will be issued. x Servicing. Lenders are fully responsible for regular and default servicing and maintaining security interest for all guaranteed loans. Regular and default servicing requirements are outlined in Chapters 17 through 19 of this Handbook. When servicing is subserviced to a third party, the lender will inform Rural Development of the name and address of the servicer by utilizing Form RD 355511.
Operationalizing USDA SFH Guaranteed Loan Program Technical Handbook HB-1-3555 ¶3.6 — Lender Responsibility
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.
