SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Titles:

a. Notice of Default, VA Form 26–

Foreclose, VA Form 26–6850a.

c. Notice of Intention to Foreclose, VA

Form 26–6851.

OMB Control Number: 2900–0021.

Type of Review: Reinstatement,

without change, of a previously

approved collection for which approval

has expired.

Abstract: Holders of guaranteed loans

are required to notify VA within 45 days

of a loan default by reason of

nonpayment of any installment for a

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 6, 2001 / Notices 13633

period of 60 days from the date of the

first uncured default of their intention

to foreclose. After delivery of such

notice to VA, 30 days must pass before

the holder can begin court proceedings

or give notice of sale under power of

sale or otherwise take steps to terminate

the debtor’s rights in the security. Many

times, defaults are determined insoluble

by holders at the time the notice of

default is to be filed with VA. In such

cases, the holders are required to file VA

Form 26–6850a, which will provide

both notices of default and intent to

foreclose together on one form. VA

Form 26–6850a requires that servicing

efforts be fully explained so that VA can

determine whether supplement

servicing could develop further

information which might justify the

extension of forbearance to the veteranborrower as opposed to foreclosure. The

information provided is used to

coordinate actions of VA and the holder

to ensure that all legal requirements

regarding foreclosure and claim

payment are met.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: 38 CFR 1.519(A) Lists of Names

and Addresses.

OMB Control Number: 2900–0438.

Type of Review: Reinstatement, with

change, of a previously approved

expired.

Abstract: Title 38, U.S.C., 5701(f)(1)

authorizes VA to disclose mailing lists

of veterans and their dependents to

nonprofit organizations, but only for

certain specific and narrow purposes.

Criminal penalties are provided for

improper use of the list by the

organization in violation of subsection

(f) limitations. The information

collection in this regulation ensures that

any disclosure of a list under this

subsection is authorized by law. VA

must ascertain that the applicant is a

nonprofit organization and intends to

use the list for a proper purpose; if not,

Title 38, U.S.C., 5701(a) prohibits

disclosure. The additional information

collection (specific geographic

locations, point of contact, type of

output and signature of organization

head) is necessary to ensure timely and

accurate processing of each application.

Failure to obtain this information will

prevent the Department from fulfilling

its statutory obligations.

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
