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.
