    Abstract: VA Form 26-1820 is used for loans closed on the prior 
approval and automatic basis. It is used by lenders closing VA loans 
under 38 U.S.C. 3710 and thereby complies with the provisions of 38 
U.S.C. 3702(c) which requires lenders to report to the Secretary on 
loans guaranteed or insured.
    In this information collection request VA has revised the VA Form 
26-1820 to include additional fields and certifications. The fields 
added are already collected routinely by the lender and do not add an 
undue burden to the lender. In addition, certifications that are to be 
provided to the Veteran were added that were included in OMB Control # 
2900-0144.
    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: 87 FR 138 on September 19, 2022, pages 
43386 and 43387.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 267,167.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 20 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 804,000.

    By direction of the Secretary.
