Verbatim provisions from USDA SFH Guaranteed Loan Program Technical Handbook HB-1-3555 ¶16.6 — Technology Fee — each quote is a verified substring of the regulator-published source snapshot, not retyped. Quoted for reference; this is not legal advice. The operational layer (P&P updates, prompts) lives in the regulation update kits.
USDA HB-1-3555, Chapter 16, § 16.6 — Technology Fee
Lenders will pay the Agency a technology fee, which may be passed to the borrower as an authorized loan purpose, when the request for loan guarantee is submitted via the Agency’s Guaranteed Underwriting System (GUS). The fee can be included in the loan amount, subject to maximum loan-to-value thresholds. The technology fee will be collected through the Agency’s LLC system interface with Pay.gov when the lender submits the loan closing package. A. Amount of Technology Fee The Agency will notify all lenders via the Agency website and GovDelivery notifications of the required technology fee amount. The technology fee is nonrefundable once the loan is closed and the Loan Note Guarantee has been issued. Failure to pay the technology fee at the time of closing will result in denial of the Loan Note Guarantee request. B. CFPB Forms: Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure When the technology fee is passed on to the consumer, it will be disclosed on the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure as "Services You Cannot Shop For/Services Borrowers HB 1-3555 Guidance documents lack the force and effect of law, unless expressly authorized by statute or incorporated into a contract.

Operationalizing USDA SFH Guaranteed Loan Program Technical Handbook HB-1-3555 ¶16.6 — Technology Fee
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
