## Abstract

Pursuant to a recent statutory revision, this rule makes available new adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) products for HUD-insured single family homes tailored to the needs of borrowers. This rule also makes provisions for the frequency and amount of interest rate changes for these new products and for pre-loan disclosure requirements. This final rule follows publication of a March 11, 2003, proposed rule. In accordance with statutory authority and the public comments received, this rule implements the proposed rule without change; that is, it provides for seven- and ten-year ARMs adjustable annually by up to two percentage points, and for one-, three, and five-year ARMs adjustable annually by up to one percentage point. The lifetime cap on adjustments for seven- and ten-year ARMs is set at six percentage points.
