SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Create Payment Request for the VA Funding Fee Payment System
(VA FPPS); A Computer Generated Funding Fee Receipt.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0474 <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch</a>
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 to obtain a
[[Page 18532]]
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. VA notes that although the frequency of the
estimated completion time is unchanged since the last revision.
However, the annual burden decreased due to a reduction in the total
number of respondents, which fell from 800,000 to 465,000 and is
directly tied to the decrease in the volume of VA-guaranteed loans.
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 4790, February 2, 2026.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 15,500 hours annually.
Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 2 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 465,000.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Alternate, VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Information Technology,
