Summary
FHA Reform Act of 2010 - Amends the National Housing Act to authorize the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to increase the maximum annual premium payments for mortgage insurance, and make the charging of them discretionary instead of mandatory. Authorizes the Secretary to require specified mortgagees to indemnify HUD for payment of a mortgage insurance claim if the mortgage was not originated or underwritten in accordance with HUD requirements. Authorizes the Secretary to require a mortgagee to indemnify HUD for loss regardless of when an insurance claim is paid if fraud or misrepresentation was involved in connection with the mortgage origination or underwriting. Authorizes the Secretary to terminate approval of a mortgagee to originate or underwrite single family mortgages if the mortgagee's rate of early defaults and claims is excessive. Establishes within the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Risk Management and Regulatory Affairs responsible for all matters relating to managing and mitigating risk to HUD mortgage insurance funds and for ensuring the performance of HUD-insured mortgages. Authorizes the Secretary to use outside sources to conduct credit risk analysis. Requires the Secretary to identify mortgagees with a significant or rapid increase in early defaults and claims with respect to all mortgages they have originated on housing located in any particular geographic area or areas. Authorizes the Secretary to require a mortgagee to: (1) use the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry; and (2) obtain unique identifiers for all the mortgagee's officers or owners. Directs the Secretary to: (1) pursue joint protocols for information sharing with state regulatory agencies; and (2) require mortgagees to notify HUD if they terminate or discontinue mortgage purchases from another mortgagee based on any determination, evidence, or report of fraud or material misrepresentation in connection with the origination of such mortgages. Prescribes conditions compelling the Secretary to review and reduce certain cash investment (down payment) requirements binding upon mortgages or mortgagors. Revises requirements for early mortgage default and foreclosure information collected by the Secretary for mortgage lender analysis. Directs the Comptroller General to report to Congress on: (1) single family mortgage insurance programs of HUD and the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund; and (2) specified aspects of the Government National Mortgage Association (GINNIE MAE).
