SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit the proposed 
information collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended). This Notice 
is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected agencies 
concerning the proposed collection of information to: (1) Evaluate 
whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information will have practical utility; (2) evaluate the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information; (3) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission 
of responses. This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: McKinney-Vento Technical Assistance Narrative, 
Matrices, and Reporting Requirements.
    Description of the need for the information proposed: McKinney-
Vento Technical Assistance (MV-TA) Narrative, Matrices, and Reporting 
Requirements will allow the Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs 
(SNAPS) to accurately assess the experience, expertise, and overall 
capacity of applicants applying for technical assistance funding under 
the FY2011 McKinney-Vento Technical Assistance Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA). They will also allow SNAPS to monitor and evaluate 
TA progress over the course of the grant and make necessary 
interventions. The new format for this type of collection also makes it 
easier for applicants to apply and report by reducing the time required 
for filling out an application and reporting forms, while retaining the 
utility of previous collection methods.

Agency Form Numbers

    Members of the affected public: Private for-profit, not-for-profit, 
and public entities applying for funding as technical assistance 
providers under the FY2011 MV-TA NOFA.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: 10 applicants x 4,080 minutes per 
response + 5 grant recipients x 3,600 minutes per reporting year = 
58,800 total minutes per year or 980 hours per year.
    Status of proposed information collection: New Collection

    Authority:  Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: June 8, 2011.
Clifford D. Taffet,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development.
