*Type of Review:* Revision of a currently approved collection.
*Abstract:* VA Form 26-6393. The form is currently used by employees of both lending institutions and VA to determine the ability of a borrower to qualify for any type of VA-guaranteed loan authorized by 38 U.S.C. 3710(a). Lenders complete and submit the form to provide evidence that the lender's decision to submit a prior approval loan application or close a loan on the automatic basis is based upon appropriate application of VA credit standards as required by 38 U.S.C. 3710(b) and 3710(g). Section 36.4340, 38 CFR, implements those underwriting standards, which include evaluating income, expenses, and credit history. This form specifically pertains to those standards evaluating a borrower's present and anticipated income and expenses and credit history.
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.
