DATES: Written comments and recommendations on the proposed collection of information should be received on or before September 27, 2021.

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.

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.
