DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Agency Information Collection: Submission for OMB Review; Comment
Request
AGENCY: Veterans Benefits Administration, Department of Veterans
Affairs.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), Department of
Veterans Affairs, has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) the following proposal for the collection of information under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
OMB Control Number: 2900-0242.
Title and Form Number: Water-Plumbing Systems Inspection Report
(Manufactured Home), VA Form 26-8731a.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Need and Uses: Inspections are ordered by lending institutions and
performed by experienced plumbers or manufactured home service
personnel. VA Form 26-8731a will be completed by the inspector after
the tests described on the form have been made. The lender submits the
report form to the applicable VA regional office with its report of
loan closing. If the report is satisfactory, and the loan is otherwise
proper, the regional office then issues a certificate of guaranty
covering the loan. Without proof of satisfactory water and plumbing
systems, VA would be guaranteeing loans on used manufactured homes
which could be unsafe and which would not be acceptable security on
which to base an increase in the government's contingent liability.
Affected Public: Individuals or households and Business or other
for-profit.
Estimated Annual Burden: 800 hours.
Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 2 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 400.
