The delegated processing procedures enhance the Department’s ability to provide timely, high quality underwriting while streamlining the compliance process for sponsors/owners undertaking mixed-finance transactions. The Notice covers approval of Delegated Processing Agencies (DPAs), DPA underwriting responsibilities, timeframe for issuing firm commitments, construction administrator duties, and an explanation of reasonable fees.
