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 proposals for the collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0243.
    Title and Form Number: Fuel and Heating Systems Inspection Report 
(Manufactured Home), VA Form 26-8731c.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Need and Uses: Inspections are ordered by lending institutions and 
performed by experienced heating company personnel, or manufactured 
home service personnel. VA Form 26-8731c is 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 fuel and 
heating 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: Generally one-time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 400.
