    E.O. 13771 Designation: Fully or Partially Exempt.

    Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to 
amend its rules on VA-guaranteed refinance home loans. In promulgating 
this rulemaking, VA intends to curtail lending practices that increase 
the risk of equity skimming and serial refinancing, cause instability 
in the secondary lending market, devalue the loan guaranty benefit as a 
lending product, and expose taxpayers to unnecessary risk. This 
rulemaking would also make certain regulatory updates to conform with 
statutory changes.
