SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3732 and 38 CFR 

36.4320, Refunding of Loans in Default. 

Title: Department of Veterans Affairs 

Servicing Purchase (VASP) Program. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0934. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: VA is initiating an expanded 

program using existing Refund 

provisions. This option will assist 

Veterans with VA-guaranteed loans who 

have defaulted on their mortgage loan 

and are facing foreclosure. Under this 

program, VA will exercise its statutory 

option to purchase the loan from the 

servicer and VA will hold the loan in 

VA’s own loan portfolio. The servicer 

will prepare a modification of the loan 

to increase affordability for the Veteran. 

Servicers who participate in the 

program are required to document their 

efforts to assist the Veteran through a 

waterfall of existing loss mitigation 

options and provide that documentation 

to VA. Information collection is 

necessary to ensure that Veterans and 

servicers comply with VA program 

requirements under VASP that are not 

already covered by existing, approved 

information collections for loan 

servicing and loan refunding. 

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 88 FR 

82947 on November 27, 2023.
