MATTER OF:
                Insurability of note under Title I of National Housing
                Act.
DIGEST:
             Since note dated May 1, 1970, submitted for insurance
             pursuant to Title I of National Housing Act contained
             projected maturity date 17-days in excess of 7 year
             and 32-days maximum that was prescribed by statute
             when loan was made, claim submitted by bank--which
             is primarily responsible for assuring that term of
             note does not exceed statutory limitation--for
             reimbursement of its loss on note must be denied.
             Although note was not assigned to bank or funds dis-
             bursed thereby until May 19, 1970, statute specifically
             limits term of obligation or note underlying loan
             and makes no provision for exceptions. See B-172121,
             April 12, 1971.

       Mr. B. C. Tyner, Authorized Certifying Officer, Department of
  Housing and Urban Development (ELU1D) has requested our advice con-
  cerning the propriety of his certifying for payment a voucher in
  the amount of $2,566.55 covering a claim by the Security National
  Bank of Melville, New York, for reimbursement of a loss sustained
  on the note of Sylvester and Nilda Baez which was submitted to HUD
  for insurance pursuant to Title I of the National Housing Act as
  amended 12 U.S.C. 5 1701 et seq. The bank's claim was initially
  denied by HUD because the term of the note was in excess of the
  statutory maximum of 7 years and 32 days that was in effect at the
  time the loan was made.

       The pertinent facts and circumstances concerning this matter
  as disclosed in the certifying officer's letter are set forth below.

       The note in question is dated May 1, 1970, and provides for
  84 monthly installments of $79.72 each beginning on July 19, 1970.
  This repayment schedule projects the maturity date of the note to
  June 19, 1977, making the term of the note 7 years and 49 days.
  The note was payable to the contractor, the B. Hammer Co., Ltd.,
  and on May 19, 1970, it was purchased by the Security National
  Bank.

       When tbe loan was entered into, section 2(b) of the National
  Housing Act, as amended, 12 U.S.C. I 1703(b) read as follows:

                                                     PULISD   DECISION
                                                     S Coemp. Gen. ........
