Title: Create Payment Request For The VA Funding Fee (VA Form 26-
8986).
OMB Control Number: 2900-0474.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: A funding fee must be paid to VA before a loan can be
guaranteed and evidence of guaranty issued. The funding fee is payable
on all VA-guaranteed loans (i.e., assumptions, manufactured housing,
refinances, and real estate purchase and construction loans). Lenders
are required to pay the funding fee in an internet-based application,
VA Funding Fee Payment System (FFPS), that permits lenders to pay the
funding fee online in order to obtain a VA loan guaranty. The
application calculates the appropriate fee, including any late fees and
interest that may be due. Lenders may also choose to pay the funding
fee via batch payment processing by uploading an XML file into FFPS.
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 88 FR 5434 on January 27, 2023, pages 5434
and 5435.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 26,400 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 2 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 800,000.
By direction of the Secretary.
