    Title of Proposal: FY 2011 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) 
for Neighborhood Stabilization Program Technical Assistance and 
Capacity Building; Request for Qualifications (NSPTA).
    Description of the Need for the Information and Its Proposed Use: 
The Narratives, Matrices and Reporting Requirements associated with NSP 
TA will allow CPD to accurately assess the experience, expertise, and 
overall capacity of applicants for technical assistance under the FY 
2011 Program NOFA. They will also allow CPD to monitor and evaluate TA 
progress over the course of each 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 the previous collection methods.
    OMB Control Number: 2506-Pending.

Experience Form; NSP Technical Assistance and Capacity Building 
Expertise Form.
    Members of Affected Public: Business or other for-profit, not-for-
profit institutions, State, Local or Tribal Government.
