    Type of Review: Extension of approved information collection.
    Abstract: VA is submitting a regular extension for an already 
approved collection. VA provides the authority for VA-guaranteed 
mortgage servicers to assist Veteran borrowers and their families 
experiencing financial difficulty. VA then provides oversight of the 
servicers' actions by collecting specific documentation and data. In 
today's environment, this collection is done via the VALERI 
application.
    VA submitted an emergency information collection request, which was 
approved to January 31, 2022, to account for data collection 
requirements associated with the COVID-19 Refund Modification. Much 
like VA's temporary COVID-19 Veterans Assistance Partial Claim Payment 
program (COVID-VAPCP), servicers who offer the COVID-19 Refund 
Modification are required to report information related to selecting 
this home retention option to VA electronically.
    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 at 86 FR 51226 on September 14, 2021, pages 
51226 and 51227.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 70 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 1 minute.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 967.

    By direction of the Secretary.
Maribel Aponte,
VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration, Data 
Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
