obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. This request for comment is
being made pursuant to section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA.
With respect to the following
collection of information, VBA invites
comments on: (1) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of VBA’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of VBA’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
the use of other forms of information
technology.
Title: Industry Standard Forms for
Completing an Appraisal Required by
VA (FNMA Forms 1004, 1004C, 1025,
2055 and 1075).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0890.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: This information collection
package seeks approval of VA’s
requirement that appraisers utilize
certain industry-standard forms in
completing an appraisal. 38 U.S.C. 3731
authorizes the VA Secretary to establish
a panel of appraisers, prescribe
qualifications for such appraisers, and
determine reasonable value of a
property, construction, repairs or
alterations based on an appraisal report
provided by a panel appraiser for the
purpose of guaranteeing a loan.
VA is requesting approval to
authorize collection of these forms
because accurate and thorough appraisal
reporting is critical to the accuracy of
underwriting for the mortgage process.
Additionally, VA is looking to expand
the list of authorized forms for use due
to ongoing needs related to the
pandemic. This collection of
information provides a more thorough
and complete appraisal of prospective
VA-guaranteed properties ensuring that
mortgages are acceptable for VA
guarantee and thereby protect the
interest of VA, taxpayers, and the
Veterans Housing Benefit Program
Fund. Policies and procedures for
governing the VA appraisal program are
set forth in chapter 36, title 38 of the
CFR.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 10,833.
Estimated Average Burden Per
Respondent: 1 minute.

Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The VA Form 28–1902w,
Information for Veteran Readiness and
Employment Entitlement Determination
is used by the Vocational Rehabilitation
Counselor (VRC) with the Veteran or
Service member during the
comprehensive initial evaluation after
the VA receives an application for
Veteran Readiness and Employment
benefits and has determined the
claimant is eligible to apply for chapter
31 under title 38 U.S.C. 3104(a) and 38
CFR 21.50. Use of the VA Form 28–
1902w will allow the VA counselor to
use the form to collect the information
during the initial evaluation. The
information is unique to each Veteran
and must be collected to assist with
making an entitlement determination
during the initial evaluation or the
counselor would not have enough
information to properly evaluate the
Veteran’s circumstances. The
information is collected only once.
Information for Veteran Readiness and
Employment Entitlement Determination
takes approximately 45 minutes to
complete.
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 89 FR
