Industry Interface Pilot
AGENCY: Rural Housing and Community Development Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Rural Housing and Community Development Service (RHCDS)
announces a pilot test of software to provide an automated interface
between RHCDS and borrowers with Multiple Family Housing (MFH) projects
to exchange MFH tenant information. The objective of the automated
interface is to dramatically reduce reporting burden and streamline
internal processing.
DATES: Borrowers who have projects in the pilot servicing offices and
wish to participate in the pilot should contact their servicing office
after June 1, 1995. Servicing offices participating in the pilot will
receive informational packages for distribution by June 1, 1995.
ADDRESSES: RECD servicing offices participating in the pilot are as
follows:
RECD State Office, 3003 North Central Avenue, Suite 900, Phoenix,
Arizona 85012.
RECD District Office, 4362 North Lake Boulevard, Suite 105, Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida 33410.
RECD District Office, 3260 Eagle Park Drive, Suite 101C, Grand Rapids,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Larry Anderson, Senior Loan Specialist, Multiple Family Housing
Servicing and Property Management Division (MHSPM), RHCDS, Room 5321
South Agriculture Building, Washington, DC 20250, telephone (202) 720-
1611. (This is not a toll free number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The pilot test is scheduled to begin during
June 1995, and will be conducted in five local servicing offices. The
pilot will determine if software developed by RHCDS can effectively
transmit tenant data from borrower management sites to the servicing
office. No ending date for the pilot has been established at this time.
During a later phase of the pilot, software developed by private
vendors will be permitted to transmit information through the pilot
system. To assist private software developers who wish to participate
in the second phase of the pilot, the RHCDS National Office will
provide a copy of the official information transmission format upon
request. On June 1, 1995, at 2:00 PM, a meeting with RHCDS and
interested software and housing industry representatives will be held
in Room 0204, South Agriculture Building, 14th and Independence Avenue,
Washington, DC, to discuss the pilot and other automation issues. Any
individual or group interested in MFH automation is welcome to attend.
During the pilot period, RHCDS will work closely with borrowers to
assure the successful completion of the pilot. Administrative
flexibility will be provided to accommodate tenant data submission in a
pilot environment. Borrowers interested in participating in the pilot
may contact the appropriate servicing office address above for more
information.
