    Title: Application for Designation as Management Broker, VA Form 
26-6685.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0191.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: It is the general policy of the VA to utilize the 
services of local brokers in the sale and management of VA-owned 
properties. Generally management activities are conducted by staff 
personnel only when the property is in close proximity to a VA field 
station and no reputable local brokers are willing to represent the VA. 
Each management broker wishing to represent the VA must submit a signed 
VA Form 26-6685. The information collected on the form, as well as 
other relevant material, such as a credit report, is used to determine 
the qualifications and acceptability of those management brokers who 
apply to participate in this program.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published on June 22, 1999, at page 33344.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 63 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 15 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Generally one-time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 250.
    Send comments and recommendations concerning any aspect of the 
information collection to VA/s OMB Desk Officer, Allison Eydt, OMB 
Human Resources and Housing Branch, New Executive Office Building, Room 
12035, Washington, DC 20503 [phone]. Please refer to ``OMB 
Control No. 2900-0191'' in any correspondence.

    Dated: September 1, 1999.

    By direction of the Secretary.
