Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.


[top] Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is submitting this revised information collection. VA statute requires lenders to report a guaranteed or insured loan to VA in such detail as the Secretary may prescribe under 38 U.S.C. 3702(c). In cases where the loan is guaranteed, the Secretary shall provide the lender with a loan guaranty certificate or other evidence of the guaranty. Regulations codified at 38 CFR 36.4303 and 38 CFR 36.4209 detail the requirements of lenders to report loans to VA in order to obtain evidence of the guaranty. VA is also updating the electronic form by changing the term "Gender" to "Sex" and changing the listing order of "Male" and "Female" to comply with the Executive Order and Office of Management and Budget guidance for defending women. In addition, adjustments were made to the burden hours from the previous submission. The change is due to a correction in the prior estimate. The adjustments made attributed to the current market conditions, including higher interest rates. page 19795

Affected Public: Individuals and households.

Estimated Annual Burden: 80,813 hours.

Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 15 minutes.

Frequency of Response: One time.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 488,775.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
