Benefits Administration (VBA), Department of Veterans Affairs, has 
submitted the collection of information abstracted below to the Office

VA Form 26-1849.

    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The data collected is used to allow a veteran to gain 
occupancy of a property when specified exterior onsite improvements 
must be postponed because of delays such as bad weather.
    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 January 29, 1999 at page 4745-4746.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households and business or other 
for-profit.
    Estimated Annual Burden: Because escrow agreements such as VA Form 
26-1849 area common practice in the building and lending industry, only 
1 hour is being shown in Item 13 of SF 83 for reporting purposes.
    Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 30 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Generally one time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10,000.
    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 (202) 395-4650. Please refer to ``OMB
