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 https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch

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

  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
