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
