SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Request for Certificate of Veteran Status.

OMB Control Number: 2900-0745 https://www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRASearch.

Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection.

Abstract: The Request for Certification of Veteran Status information collection is used to determine an applicant's eligibility for a possible reduced downpayment when obtaining a loan insured by FHA under the provisions of Section 203(b)(2) or 220(d)(a) of the National Housing Act as amended. The information collection is being submitted as a “Reinstatement with change” due to a reduction in respondents from 25 to 10 to reflect fewer submissions under this information collection during the reporting period. This decrease results in a corresponding reduction in burden.

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 insert citation date 91 FR 9929, February 27, 2026.

Affected Public: Individuals or Households.

Estimated Annual Burden: 2 hours.

Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 10 minutes.

Frequency of Response: Two-Times per loan.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.

Authority:44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Shunda Willis,

Alternate, VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Information Technology/Data Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
