    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Program 
Registration. Description of the need for the information proposed: 
This submission is to request a reinstatement with revisions of an 
expired information collection for the reporting burden associated with 
registration requirements that Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance 
(CoC) program lead agencies will be expected to complete. This 
submission is limited to the reporting burden under the CoC program, 
formerly including the Supportive Housing Program, the Shelter Plus 
Care program, and the Section 8 and Single Room Occupancy Program, and 
changed to match the new inclusive program name created through the 
HEARTH Act.
    Agency Form Numbers:
    Members of the affected public: CoC Lead Agency representatives.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response:
    The CoC Registration will be completed by all 450 Continuums of 
Care and will require approximately one hour to complete. The 
registration will occur once per year prior to the release of the 
annual CoC Notice of Funding Availability. The total number of hours 
needed for all reporting per year is 450 hours.
    Status of proposed information collection: Reinstatement, with 
change, of previously approved collection for which approval has 
expired.

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

    Dated: December 19, 2011.
Clifford Taffet,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development.
