SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA of 1995, Federal agencies must
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.
Authority: Public Law 104-13; 44 U.S.C. 3501-21.
Title: VA Request for Determination of Reasonable Value (VA Forms
26-1805, and 26-1805-1).
OMB Control Number: 2900-0045.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA utilizes Form 26-1805 (paper form) and 26-1805-1
(digital form) for lenders to request an appraisal and assign an
appraiser (i.e., ``ordering'' an appraisal), which ultimately provides
the appraiser with the authority to be on the property to conduct the
appraisal (i.e., an engagement letter). This information collection
request seeks to expand this data collection clearance to encompass a
modernized, end-to-end appraisal management process. Under this revised
ICR, VA will not only capture information from lenders around when an
appraisal has been ordered (current VA Form 26-1805), but will also
capture information and workflow associated with the assignment,
scheduling, and review of an appraisal by VA or a lender. This new
process will be consistent with the rest of the mortgage industry, and
will align VA's appraisal process with the industry standard.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 585,000 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 57 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 650,000.
