Ginnie Mae has established several other elec- tronic commerce efforts to improve customer service and meet its mission.  In a joint effort with Fannie Mae (FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), and the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), Ginnie Mae implemented a web-based appli- cation to receive lenders’ quarterly financial statements. Ginnie Mae Web Site.  The Ginnie Mae web site continues to provide issuers, homebuyers, mortgage finance industry participants, secu- rities investors and other interested parties with important and timely information about the Ginnie Mae MBS program. The web site also provides a variety of information about Ginnie Mae, its mission, organization and goals.  A search engine facilitates keyword searches.  Important web resources include: •   Ginnie Mae annual reports; •   All Participants Memos; •   Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide 5500.3; •   Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Guide; •   Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Accounting Manual; •   Ginnie Mae REMIC Prospectus (Offering Circular Supplements); •   On-line training materials for Single Family and Multifamily Issuers, and Prospective Issuers; •   Targeted Lending Inquiries; •   Multifamily MBS database; •   Mortgage Calculator. The Electronic Data Interchange Program. The successful implementation of electronic data interchange (EDI) for issuers has further increased Ginnie Mae’s efficiency and effec- tiveness in the quarterly investor reporting process.  Issuers that have implemented EDI can use the same transaction set for investor reporting to Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae.  In addition to the reduction of paper and duplicate reporting requirements, issuers receive faster feedback on the success of submissions and information about problems with reported data before the next quarterly cycle. The web-EDI application is available on Ginnie Mae’s web site by following the links from www.ginniemae.gov. 10 G i n n i e   M a e   A n n u a l   R e p o r t   2 0 0 1
