Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Attn: VA Desk Officer; 725

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Authority: Public Law 104-13; 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521.

    Title: Financial Statement.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0047.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The major use of the form is to determine a borrower's 
financial condition in connection with efforts to reinstate a seriously 
defaulted, guaranteed, insured, or portfolio loan. In addition, the 
form is used in determining the financial feasibility of a veteran or 
service member to obtain a home with the assistance of a Specially 
Adapted Housing Grant under 38 U.S.C., Chapter 21. Also, VA Form 26-
6807 may be used to establish eligibility of homeowners for aid under 
the Homeowners Assistance Program, Public Law 89-754, which provides 
assistance by reducing losses incident to the disposal of homes when 
military installations at which the homeowners were employed or serving 
are ordered closed in whole or in part. Finally, the form is used in 
release of liability and substitution of entitlement cases. Under the 
provisions of 38 U.S.C. 3714, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 
may release original veteran obligors from personal liability arising 
from the original guaranty of their home loans, or the making of a 
direct loan, provided purchasers/assumers meet the necessary 
requirements, among which is qualifying from a credit standpoint. 
Substitution of entitlement is authorized by 38 U.S.C. 3702(b)(2) and 
prospective veteran-assumers must also meet the creditworthiness 
requirements.
    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 Vol. 82, No. 51 on March 17, 2017, page 
14278.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 2,250 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 45 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,000.
