Miscellaneous Actions
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.
