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.
