Abstract: Under the authority of 38 U.S.C. 3720(a)(5) and (6) the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) acquires properties for sale to the
general public utilizing a private Contractor. Without this collection,
a determination of the best offer for a property and the highest net
return/cash equivalent value HNR/CEV could not be made to determine the
most financially advantageous purchase offer to VA (VA Form 26-6705);
the creditworthiness of a prospective buyer could not be determined and
the offer to purchase could not be accepted (VA Form 26-6705b or
FNMA1003; and, proper acknowledgment of State law by the buyer at or
prior to closing would not be made (VA Form 26-6705d)). VA has also
added Nine (9) new forms that are used in connection with the sale of
VA-acquired properties. Each form has a new estimated burden. The
information collected through these forms is necessary to identify the
property, document, buyer and seller acknowledgements, support
financing and contract actions, and complete the real estate
transactions.
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 91 FR 765, January 8, 2026.
