    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 26-8736 is used by nonsupervised lenders 
requesting approval to close loans on an automatic basis. Automatic 
lending privileges eliminate the requirement for submission of loans to 
VA for prior approval. Lending institutions with automatic loan 
privileges may process and disburse such loans and subsequently report 
the loan to VA for issuance of guaranty. The form requests information 
considered crucial for VA to make acceptability determinations as to 
lenders who shall be approved for this privilege.
    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 July 31, 2013 at page 46419.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 50 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 25 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 120.

    Dated: January 27, 2014.

By direction of the Secretary.
