(4) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who

    This Notice Also Lists the Following Information:
    Title of Proposal: Technical Assistance Experience, Expertise, and 
Awards Received Matrices. Description of the need for the information 
proposed: The Technical Assistance Experience, Expertise, and Awards 
Received Matrices will allow the Office of Special Needs Assistance 
Programs to accurately assess the experience, expertise, and overall 
capacity of applicants applying for technical assistance funding under 
the FY2011 McKinney-Vento Technical Assistance (MV-TA) Notice of 
Funding Availability (NOFA). The new format for this type of collection 
also makes it easier for applicants to apply by reducing the time 
required for filling out an application, while retaining the utility of 
previous collection methods.
    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 480 minutes per 
response = 4,800 total minutes or 80 hours.
    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: May 20, 2011.
Clifford D. Taffet,
General Deputy Assistant, Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development.
