|NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS |
| |
[pic]
| | |
|1 |THE REQUIREMENT ORIGINALLY DESIGNATED AS BLOCK 1 (FOR KANSAS BANKS) IS NOT GENERALLY APPLICABLE IN OTHER STATES AND HAS BEEN |
| |REMOVED FROM THIS BOOKLET. |
| | |
|2 |The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (Reg B) applies to all loans, including commercial loans. Under the ECOA, applicants must |
| |indicate—at the time of application—whether they are applying for joint credit. This requirement is found in the Regulation B|
|JOINT CREDIT STATEMENT |Commentary and states as follows: |
| | |
| |Evidence of joint application. A person's intent to be a joint applicant must be evidenced at the time of application. |
| |Signatures on a promissory note may not be used to show intent to apply for joint credit. On the other hand, signatures or |
| |initials on a credit application affirming applicants' intent to apply for joint credit may be used to establish intent to |
| |apply for joint credit. |
| | |
| |This disclosure is typically found on the application form. If the bank’s business application does not contain this |
| |statement, a separate form will be required. |
| | |
| |NOTE: When several individual applicants apply for a business loan, the bank must determine whether the individuals have |
| |formed a partnership. If so, the application is being made by a single partnership—it will not be a joint application. |
| | |
|3 |If an applicant has existing loans with the bank, review those existing loans to determine if there are exceptions that need |
| |to be cleaned up before the bank can act on the application. |
|RESOLVE EXCEPTIONS | |
| | |
|4 |A bank is subject to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) if it (i) has assets in excess of $44 million and (ii) has a home|
| |or branch office in a metropolitan area. [$44 million is the threshold for 2016; it changes annually.] |
|HMDA | |
|MONITORING |If a loan is subject to monitoring requirements and the applicant is a natural person (a sole proprietor), the lender must |
|AND |document the applicant’s ethnicity, race and sex. If the applicant is not a natural person (partnership, corporation), no |
|REPORTING |HMDA monitoring is required. |
| | |
| |If monitoring data must be collected (because the applicant is a natural person), the lender must inform the applicant: |
| | |
| |That the federal government requires the information in order to monitor compliance with federal discrimination laws; and |
| | |
| |For in-person applications, that if the applicant does not provide the data, the lender is required to note the data on the |
| |basis of visual observation or surname. |
| | |
| |Some business applications do not contain a monitoring block for this data. If that is the case, use a separate form to |
| |collect the information. A sample form is printed on PAGE 15. |
| | |
| |Proposed Changes: In October of 2015, the CFPB revised the HMDA reporting rules. Most of the new rules, however, will not |
| |become effective until January 1, 2018. The new reporting requirements are briefly discussed on PAGE 23. |
| | |
|5 |Obtain the applicant’s written authorization to obtain information from third parties. |
| | |
|AUTHORIZATION | |
| | |
|6 |If the loan proceeds will be used to purchase real estate, obtain a copy of purchase contract. |
| | |
|PURCHASE CONTRACT | |
| | |
|7 |If loan will be secured by real estate already owned by borrower, obtain copies of the deed, previous title work, previous |
| |appraisals, and any mortgages. |
|REAL ESTATE INFO | |
| | |
|8 |If loan will be secured by real estate, order a survey. Indicate whether the bank wants (i) an “Improvement Land Certificate” |
| |(ILC) that shows the improvements or (ii) a “contract” that only shows the pins. |
|REAL ESTATE SURVEY | |
| | |
|9 |If zoning will affect the business operation, investigate the zoning and determine whether it is appropriate for the |
| |property’s intended use. |
|ZONING | |
| | |
|10 |The copy-of-appraisal requirement arises under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (Reg B), which applies to all loans, including|
| |commercial loans. For years, if a loan was secured by a dwelling, the bank had to provide a copy of the appraisal/evaluation,|
|COPY-OF-APPRAISAL NOTICE |either (i) routinely or (ii) upon request (after providing a notice of the applicant’s right to receive a copy of the |
| |appraisal). |
| | |
| |Because of the new CFPB rules, the copy-of-appraisal requirement has now changed. Beginning January 18, 2014, if a loan is |
| |secured by a first lien on a dwelling, the bank must provide the applicant with a notice of the applicant’s right to receive a|
| |copy of any valuation (appraisal or evaluation). This notice must be given within three business days after application. |
| | |
|11 |If either the applicant or the owner of secured property is a trust, the lender should obtain either (i) a copy of the trust |
| |document or (ii) a completed-and-notarized Certification of Trust. If permitted in your state, the Certification is usually |
|CERTIFICATION |the easiest and best solution. |
|OF TRUST | |
| | |
|12 |Make sure the loan will fall within the bank’s lending limit. |
| | |
|LENDING LIMIT/REG O |If the applicant is an insider, be sure to check for possible Reg O problems. Reg O is complicated and detailed, but a simple|
| |summary—showing the basic rules—appears on PAGE 16. |
| | |
|13 |Under the Bank Secrecy Act a bank must develop a Customer Identification Program (CIP). Your bank doubtless has such a |
| |program. If the applicant is an existing bank customer, someone will have already gathered the appropriate information. But |
|CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION |if the applicant is a new customer, the lender must follow the bank’s customer identification program to identify the |
|(CIP) |applicant and verify that identity. At minimum, the bank’s program will require the following: |
| | |
| |Identify the customer by obtaining the following information prior to closing: |
| | |
| |Name, |
| |Date of birth, |
| |Address, and |
| |Social security number or employer identification number. |
| | |
| |Verify the customer’s identity within a reasonable time after the loan is closed. |
| | |
| |Verification requirements are typically as follows: |
| | |
| |Sole proprietorship ( Driver’s license + Other (refer to bank’s CIP) |
| |Business entity ( Documentation shown in next section + Other (refer to bank’s CIP) |
| |Each individual signer ( Driver’s license + Other (refer to bank’s CIP) |
| | |
|14 |When a loan is secured by real property, the bank must consider the risk of environmental liability and conduct a brief |
| |analysis of that risk. This checklist enables the lender to conduct a simple environment risk analysis by asking two simple |
|ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ANALYSIS |questions and documenting the responses right on the checklist. Usually the responses will not indicate a potential problem |
| |and the analysis will be complete. If the responses indicate an environment concern, the lender should turn to the bank’s |
| |environmental policy for additional guidance. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
|15 |If the applicant is a business entity (sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership, LLC), obtain copies of documents showing: |
| | |
|ENTITY DOCUMENTATION |That the entity is authorized to do business in your state, |
| |Whether the entity has the authority to borrow, |
| |Who has the authority to sign the loan documents on behalf of the entity, |

|GUARANTORS | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | | |
| |REQUIREMENT |HOW IT APPLIES |
| | | |
| |EQUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITY ACT |The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (Reg B) applies to all loans, including commercial loans. It |
| |(REG B) |permits the bank to require that directors, partners or officers guarantee the loan. The bank |
| | |cannot, however, automatically require the signatures of their spouses. |
| | | |
| |IDENTIFICATION |Pursuant to safety and soundness considerations, a prudent bank will determine and verify the |
| | |identity of any guarantor. The CIP rules do not technically apply to guarantors, but could be |
| | |used in the identification process. |
| | | |
| |ENTITY DOCUMENTATION |Obtain entity documentation (see “ENTITY DOCUMENTATION” on PAGE 6 for suggested documentation). |
| | | |
| |ENTITY |If the guarantor is a non-individual entity (corporation, partnership, LLC), use a resolution form|
| |RESOLUTION |that specifically authorizes the entity to guarantee the loan (commonly-used resolution forms may |
| | |not contain this authorization). |
| | | |
| |FINANCIAL INFORMATION |Obtain financial information showing guarantor’s ability to repay the loan. See “FINANCIAL |
| | |INFORMATION” on PAGE 7 for suggested documentation. |
| | |
| | |
|18 |If a loan is secured by real property, the value of the secured property must be determined in one of the following ways: |
| | |
|APPRAISALS |A new appraisal; |
|AND |A new evaluation; or |
|EVALUATIONS |An existing appraisal/evaluation. |
| | |
| |Note: No appraisal/evaluation is required when the mortgage is taken only as an abundance of caution. |
| | |
| |Appraisals. If a loan is secured by real property and the amount of the loan exceeds $250,000, the bank must hire certified |
| |appraiser to conduct an appraisal of the real property securing the loan. Note, however, there are certain exceptions for (i) |
| |Certain business loans, (ii) same-lender refinancings with no new money and (iii) same-lender refinancings with no material |
| |change in the market or property. In these cases, an in-house evaluation may be permitted. |
| | |
| |Evaluations. If a loan is secured a real property and the amount of the loan is $250,000 or less, the bank can value the |
| |property by conducting an in-house evaluation. An in-house evaluation can be based on a county tax assessment, but the bank |
| |must (i) review the assessment, (ii) determine whether the assessment is valid and (iii) prepare a written review that includes |
| |a reconciliation of the value. |
| | |
| |Business Loans of $1 Million or Less. If repayment for this type of loan is not dependent on (i) the sale of the real estate |
| |or (ii) rental income from the real estate, the bank can satisfy the appraisal requirement by conducting an in-house evaluation.|
| | |
| |Existing Valuations. If the bank has an existing appraisal or evaluation, it can use that existing valuation to support a new |
| |loan—but only if it documents that the existing appraisal or evaluation is still valid. |
| | |
| |Reviewing Appraisals and Evaluations. As part of a bank’s credit approval process—and prior to the final credit decision—the |
| |bank should review appraisals and evaluations to ensure that they comply with the federal appraisal regulations and the bank’s |
| |internal policies. |
| | |
| |Note that both appraisals and evaluations must be conducted before the loan is closed. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
|19 |Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which applies to all loans (including commercial loans), the bank must provide the |
| |consumer with a copy of any valuation (appraisal or evaluation) developed in connection with an application for a loan secured |
|PROVIDING |by a first lien on a dwelling. The copy must be provided promptly upon completion of the valuation and must be received by |
|COPIES OF APPRAISALS |the consumer at least three business days before closing. If the copy is provided by mail or e-mail, the "mailbox rule" |
| |applies: The consumer will not legally receive the copy until three business days after mailing or e-mailing. The bank may, |
| |however, use evidence to show that the copy was received earlier. The bank cannot charge a fee for the copy, but can charge the|
| |applicant a reasonable fee to reimburse for the bank for the cost of preparing or obtaining the valuation. |
| | |
| |The applicant can waive the three-days-before-closing timing requirement (either orally or in writing), but even if it receives |
| |a waiver, the bank must provide the copy at or prior to closing. And note that the bank must receive the waiver at least three |
| |business days before closing. If the loan is not closed and the applicant has provided a waiver, the bank must provide the copy |
| |within 30 days. |
| | |
| |Here is the required notice wording: |
| | |
| |We may order an appraisal to determine the property’s value and charge you for this appraisal. We will promptly give you a copy |
| |of any appraisal, even if your loan does not close. You can pay for an additional appraisal for your own use at your own cost. |
| | |
| |Finally, note that this requirement applies regardless of whether credit is extended or denied, or the application is incomplete|
| |or withdrawn. In addition, the new law makes it clear that the copies may be provided in electronic form, as long as the bank |
| |complies with the federal E-Sign Act. |
| | |
|20 |The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which applies to all loans (including commercial loans), requires the bank to provide the |
| |applicant with a Notice of Adverse Action. The rules are detailed and rather complicated: |
|ADVERSE ACTION | |
| |Completed Application. If the bank denies a completed application (refuses to grant credit in the amount or terms requested), |
| |the bank must provide a Notice of Adverse Action within 30 days after receiving the application. |
| | |
| |Completed Application. If the bank makes a counteroffer and the applicant accepts the counteroffer, there is no adverse action |
| |and no notice is required. But if the applicant does not accept the counteroffer, the bank must provide a Notice of Adverse |
| |Action within 90 days after notifying the applicant of the counteroffer. |
| | |
| |Incomplete Application. Within 30 days after receiving an incomplete application, the bank must take one of the following |
| |actions: |
| | |
| |Deny the incomplete application and provide a Notice of Adverse Action within 30 days after taking the adverse action; or |
| | |
| |Provide a Notice of Incompleteness. This wording is incorporated into the usual Notice-of- Adverse-Action form. If the |
| |applicant fails to respond, the bank has no further obligation. But if the applicant supplies the information, the bank must |
| |take action on the application and follow the usual notification rules. |
| | |
| |Withdrawn Application. If an applicant specifically withdraws an application, there is no “adverse action” and a Notice of |
| |Adverse Action is not required. If the applicant provides the bank with a letter of withdrawal, that letter should be kept in |
| |the file. If there is no letter, the lender should document the withdrawal. Consider using the “NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS” |
| |portion of the checklist to make this note . . . and the lender should initial and date the notation. |
| | |
| |The rules summarized above are applicable to all non-business applications and can also be used for small business applications.|
| |A “small business” is a business with gross annual revenues of $1 million or less. |
| | |
| |Note, however, that there are special rules for “big businesses”—businesses with gross annual revenues of more than $1 million. |
| |In this case, the ECOA requires the bank to notify the applicant within a reasonable time. Notice may be formal or informal, |
| |oral or written. A telephone call is okay, but must be documented. The bank is only required to provide a written statement of|
| |the reasons of the adverse action if the applicant requests those reasons in writing within 60 days after getting the notice of |
| |adverse action. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
|21 |The bank must initiate flood insurance procedures when it makes, increases, extends or renews a loan secured by a building or |
| |manufactured home. The checklist shows the key requirements: |
|FLOOD INSURANCE | |
| |Determine whether the building is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). |
| | |
| |If the building is in a SFHA, provide the borrower with a notice. This notice must be provided at least 10 days before closing |
| |and must be acknowledged by the borrower. |
| | |
| |If the building is in a SFHA and the community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, the bank must require flood|
| |insurance to be in place before closing. |
| | |
| |A bank cannot rely on a previous determination when it makes a loan, but it can rely on a previous determination when: |
| | |
| |The bank is increasing, extending, renewing or purchasing a loan; |
| | |
| |The determination is no more than seven years old; and |
| | |
| |There have been no map changes since the prior determination. |

| |When relying on a previous determination, most financial institutions get the previous determination “recertified”—normally |
| |available from the third-party vendor at a minimal additional cost—to make sure there have been no map changes. |
| | |
| |In 2009 the federal banking agencies released a detailed document titled Interagency Questions and Answers Regarding Flood |
| |Insurance. This detailed and instructive document is available on the website of each agency. |
| | |
| |______________________________________ |
| | |
| |There are several new flood insurance rules: |
| | |
| |Exemption for Detached Structures. Under this new rule (already in effect), a structure that is part of a residential property,|
| |but detached from the primary residential structure and not used as a residence, is exempt from the flood insurance |
| |requirements. Be sure to note, however, that detached structures used for commercial, agricultural, or other business purposes |
| |are not eligible for this exemption and are subject to the usual flood insurance requirements. |
| | |
| |Required Escrow of Flood Insurance Premiums. Under this new rule (effective January 1, 2016), banks must escrow all flood |
| |insurance premiums. There are numerous exemptions to this requirement, however, and most smaller community banks will be exempt|
| |from the escrow requirement. |
| | |
| |Force Placed Flood Insurance. On October 1, 2015, the rules on force-placement changed. The updated rules still require banks |
| |to provide a notice if it determines that insurance has lapsed. And as before, the notice cannot be provided until insurance |
| |lapses, and if the borrower fails to obtain insurance within 45 days after notification, the bank is required to purchase |
| |insurance on the borrower's behalf. Note, however, that the new rules permit the bank to force-place insurance immediately |
| |after the original policy lapses. If the borrower obtains a policy that overlaps with the force-placed insurance, the bank |
| |would be required to terminate the force-placed policy and refund any premiums paid by the borrower for the overlap period. |
| | |
| | |
|22 |Creditors typically require title insurance (or some similar method of title protection) even if they are not required to do so |
| |by law or regulation. For that reason, this checklist includes the title insurance "requirement." |
|TITLE INSURANCE | |
| | |
|23 |If a particular individual is indispensible to the operation of the borrower’s business, consider requiring key man life |
| |insurance and naming the bank as beneficiary. If the bank moves forward with the insurance, the lender should verify—prior to |
|KEY MAN |closing—that the bank has possession of the policy, as well as any necessary assignment. |
|INSURANCE | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
|24 |Loan-to-value limits apply to all loans secured by real estate. The regulatory agencies have established certain limits for |
| |various types of real estate loans and those limits are shown below: |
|LOAN-TO-VALUE | |
|LIMITS | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | | |
| |LOAN CATEGORY |LOAN-TO-VALUE LIMITS |
| | | |
| |Raw land |65% |
| | | |
| |Land development |75% |
| | | |
| |Construction: | |
| | | |
| |Commercial, multi-family, and other non-residential |80% |
| |(includes condominiums and cooperatives | |
| | | |
| |1-to-4 family residential |85% |
| | | |
| |Improved property |85% |
| | | |
| |Owner-occupied 1-to-4 family and home equity |A loan-to-value limit has not been established for |
| | |permanent-mortgage or home-equity loans on owner-occupied, 1-to-4 |
| | |family residential property. However, for any such loan with a |
| | |loan-to-value ratio that equals or exceeds 90% at origination, the |
| | |bank should require appropriate credit enhancement in the form of |
| | |either mortgage insurance or readily-marketable collateral. |
| | |
|25 | |
| |If the loan is secured by real estate, make sure the following steps are completed: |
|MORTGAGE | |
| |Obtain completed mortgage (or deed of trust). |
| |If there are improvements on the real estate, verify that improvements are covered by insurance. |
| | |
|26 |When the loan will be secured by collateral, the bank must have the owner of collateral sign a contract in which the owner |
| |agrees to let the bank have the collateral if the loan isn’t paid. This contract is usually called a security agreement, but it|
| |can also be in the form of an assignment. The checklist will help lenders quickly identify the correct form. |

| | |and either (i) have the owner endorse the certificate or (ii) re-register the certificate in the |
| | |bank’s name. |
| | | |
| | |UNCERTIFICATED SECURITY (no paper certificate, such as a mutual fund). The issuer must agree in|
| | |writing that it will comply with the bank’s instructions without further consent of the owner. |
| | | |
| |MOST OTHER COLLATERAL |File a financing statement with the central filing office. |
| | | |
| |UNUSUAL COLLATERAL |Check with your compliance officer or supervisor to determine the appropriate perfection method. |
| | |
|28 |Depending on the type of collateral, the lender may want to consider the following additional steps to ensure that the |
| |collateral is protected and can be repossessed if necessary: |
| | |
|ADDITIONAL STEPS | |
|TO PROTECT COLLATERAL | |
| | |
| | |
| | | |
| |IF COLLATERAL IS . . . |TAKE THIS ADDITIONAL STEP . . . |
| | | |
| |EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES |Verify that collateral is covered by insurance. |
| | | |
| |COLLATERAL ON LEASED PROPERTY |Obtain a landlord’s lien waiver. |
| | | |
| |PMSI (INVENTORY OR LIVESTOCK) |Send a notification to any existing lienholder. |
| | | |
| |PERFECTION BY FILING |Conduct a UCC lien search to check for priority liens. |
| | | |
| | |
| |KEY MAN LIFE INSURANCE. In addition to the additional steps listed above, if a particular individual is indispensable to the |
| |operation of the borrower’s business, the bank might want to consider requiring key man life insurance and naming the bank as |
| |beneficiary. Prior to closing, the lender should verify that the bank has possession of the policy, as well as any necessary |
| |assignment. |
| | |
|29 |When preparing for closing, here are some steps that will be helpful: |
| | |
|PREPARE FOR CLOSING |Prepare the promissory note. |
| |Arrange for and schedule the closing date, time, signers. |
| |If secured by real estate, coordinate the closing with the closing agent. |
| |Prepare an instruction letter to closing agent. |
| |If HMDA applies, obtain and document the loan application register (LAR) information. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
|30 |Here is a partial list of documents that may need to be signed at closing: |
| | |
| |Promissory Note |
|AT CLOSING |Guarantees |
| |Mortgage (or Deed of Trust) |
| |Assignment of Leases and Rents |
| |Commercial Security Agreement |
| |Assignment of Life Insurance |
| |Stock Assignment |
| |Assignment of Deposit Account |
| |Landlord’s Lien Waiver |
| |Listing of Potential Buyers |
| | |
| |If the applicant has waived the copy-of-valuation timing requirement, the copy of the valuation must be provided at closing. |
| | |
| |In addition, the closer will need to obtain any money due from borrower. |
| | |
| | |
|31 |After the loan is closed, make sure these chores are completed: |
| | |
|AFTER CLOSING |Record the mortgage or deed of trust (must be acknowledged). |
| |Record assignment of leases and rents. |
| |File the UCC financing statement (not necessary if collateral is covered by existing filing). |
| |Conduct a UCC lien search to verify bank’s filing. |
| |Disburse funds. |
| |Review documents; organize and assemble files; book the loan. |
| |Document and record any exceptions. |
| |Verify the accuracy of all “uploaded” information. |
| | |
|32 |The requirements of the Servicemember’s Civil Relief Act apply to commercial loans as well as consumer loans. Because of SCRA |
| |requirements generally are not triggered when a loan is initially executed, the checklist does not itemize the requirements. |
|SERVICEMEMBERS CIVIL RELIEF |Bankers should, however, be aware of the SCRA requirements, including the following: |
|ACT | |
| |If a servicemember incurs a debt before entering military service, the interest rate on that debt is limited to 6% during the |
| |period of military service. If the debt is secured by a mortgage, however, the debt is limited to 6% during the period of |
| |military service and for one year thereafter. |
| | |
| |If a legal action to enforce a debt against real estate is filed during, or within one year after the servicemember’s military |
| |service, a court may stop the proceedings for a period of time, or adjust the debt. In addition, a foreclosure will not be valid|
| |if it occurs during, or within one year after the servicemember’s military service unless the creditor has obtained a valid |
| |court order approving the foreclosure. |

In October of 2015, the CFPB revised the HMDA reporting rules. Most of the new rules, however, will not become effective until January 1, 2018. The new rules will include these changes:
• Financial institutions will generally be required to report all closed-end loans, open-end lines of credit, and reverse mortgages secured by dwellings . . . regardless of purpose. Reporting is only required, however, if the institution originated at least 25 "covered loans" (excluding open-end lines of credit) in the previous calendar year. Note that temporary loans and loans primarily for agricultural purposes will be exempt.
• In addition to the currently-reported data, expect to report:
o Whether loan is insured or guaranteed under certain federal programs
o Whether loan is purchase, home improvement, refinancing or "other"
o Postal address of property
o Age of applicant
o Credit score and name of scoring model
o Interest rate
o Term of prepayment penalty
o Debt-to-income ratio
o Loan-to-value ratio
o Term of loan in months
o Number of months until the interest rate can change
o Whether the loan contract includes a balloon payment, Interest-only payments, or negative amortization
o Value of secured property
o If secured property is a manufactured home:
▪ Whether it is classified as real or personal property
▪ Whether the borrower owns the land or leases the land
o If the property is a multi-family dwelling, the number of income-restricted units
o Whether the application was submitted directly to the financial institution
o NMLSR number of the loan originator
o The automated underwriting system used to evaluate the application
o Whether the loan is an open-end line of credit, and whether it is a HELOC
o Whether the loan is subject to ability-to-repay provisions, and whether the loan is a qualified mortgage

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION . . .
Responsible Party
In order to identify the correct individuals and entities applying for EINs, language changes have been made to the EIN process. Refer to Responsible Parties and Nominees to learn about these important changes before applying for an EIN.
Third Party Authorization
The Third Party Designee section must be completed at the bottom of the Form SS-4. The Form SS-4 must also be signed by the taxpayer for the third party designee authorization to be valid. The Form SS-4 must be mailed or faxed to the appropriate service center. A third party designee may call for an EIN; however a faxed Form SS-4, with the taxpayer's signature, is still required. IRS assistors will take the information over the phone from the third party designee and ask the third party to fax the completed Form SS-4 to them (to the IRS assistor's attention) at an administrative fax number. After receiving the faxed Form SS-4, the EIN will be assigned and faxed back to the third party designee, or given over the phone. The third party designee's authority terminates at the time the EIN is assigned and released to the designee.
