I wanted to clarify something that I thought I heard in the telephone seminar that was put on by Pegasus and hosted by IBA last Monday. I thought Jack Holzknecht said that examiners were looking for lender ID #'s on Flood Hazard Determination forms. I'm pretty sure he said this was a hot button right now. Did anyone else here that or was I a little sleepy?

Rick, I didn't participate in this, but I have heard nothing on it. When you say Lender ID, are you talking about the Lender's Fed ID or the Lender's ID # with the vendor?

I have heard this is true directly from our FDIC compliance examiner at a seminar she participated in for our compliance staff. They are finding many flood vendors are leaving off the Lender ID# (which is your FDIC Certificate number) from the determination form.

At my previous employer we were written up for not having them. It's such a minor issue that many banks overlook it. It's supposed to be so FEMA can track, by bank, property in flood prone areas - or something like that.

Folks- Thanks for the responses. I forgot to scroll down and see if there were any new posts in this forum! It looks like our flood vendor has been leaving the Lender ID. No. (box #3) blank on all of our determinations. The good news is they are now using the updated SFHD form!
