All foundation systems, new and existing, must meet the guidelines
published in the Permanent

1996 (For a copy, see Mortgagee
Letter 97-36). A certification attesting to compliance with
this handbook must be obtained from a licensed professional engineer

when the current FHA borrower refinances their loan. It is applicable
for all resales.
