    Abstract: VA Form 26-8736 is used by non-supervised lenders 
requesting approval to close loans on an automatic basis. The form 
contains information and data considered crucial for making 
acceptability determinations as to lenders who shall be approved for 
this privilege. Upon receipt of the form, the VA Regional Loan Centers 
will process and evaluate the information. They will then advise the 
lender-applicant of their decision. Without this information, VA would 
not be able to determine if lender-applicants meet the qualifications 
for processing loans on an automatic basis.

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
