NONSUPERVISED LENDER’S NOMINATION AND
RECOMMENDATION OF CREDIT UNDERWRITER
IMPORTANT: This form is only to be used by nonsupervised lenders when requesting approval of nominations for credit underwriters.
Privacy Act Information: VA will not disclose information collected on this form to any source other than what has been authorized under the Privacy Act of 1974 or Title 38,
Code of Federal Regulations 1.576 for routine uses (i.e., information may be disclosed to Congress when requested on behalf of a lender) as identified in the VA system of
records, 55VA26, Loan Guaranty Home, Condominium and Manufactured Home Loan Applicant Records, Specially Adapted Housing Applicant Records and Vendee Loan
Applicant Records - VA, and published in the Federal Register. No approval as credit under writer may be made unless a completed application form has been received (38
U.S.C. 3702 and 3710). Your obligation to respond is required to obtain or retain benefit. Giving us your SSN account information is voluntary. Refusal to provide your SSN by
itself will not result in the denial of your application. VA will not deny an application for refusing to provide his or her SSN unless the disclosure of the SSN is required by a
Federal Statute of law in effect prior to January 1, 1975, and still in effect.
Respondent Burden: We need this information to confirm that lenders’ underwriters are qualified to determine that all Title 38, U.S.C., section 3702 and 3710 loans to be
closed on an automatic basis meet VA’s credit underwriting standards. Title 38, United States Code, allows us to ask for this information. We estimate that you will need
an average of 20 minutes to review the instructions, find the information, and complete this form. VA cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless a valid
OMB control number is displayed. You are not required to respond to a collection of information if this number is not displayed. Valid OMB control numbers can be
located on the OMB Internet Page at: www.whitehouse.gov/omb/library/OMBINV.VA.EPA.html#VA. If desired, you can call 1-800-827-1000 to get information on where to
send comments or suggestions about this form.

QUALIFICATIONS: At least 3 years’ experience in processing, pre-underwriting, or underwriting mortgage loans with at least 1 year of the most
recent 3 years making underwriting decisions on VA loans or a current ARU designation from the Mortgage Bankers Association.
