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

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 × 4,080
minutes per response + 5 grant
recipients × 3,600 minutes per reporting
year = 58,800 total minutes per year or
980 hours per year.

Title of Proposal: Housing Choice
Voucher Program Administrative Fee
Study Pretest.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: This
request is for the clearance of on-site
data collection from public housing
agencies (PHAs) to test the methodology
for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV)
Program Administrative Fee study. The
purpose of the study is to collect
accurate information on the costs of
administering the HCV program across a
representative sample of high
performing and efficient PHAs and to
use this information to develop a new
administrative fee allocation formula for
the HCV program. The study is
proceding in multiple phases. This
request is for data collection to test the
methodology for estimating program
costs in the study. We propose to use
two main methods for collecting cost
data: (1) Measuring the time that front
line staff spend working on the program
and translating that time into costs
using the salaries and benefits of the
staff doing the work and adjusting for
market factors; and (2) collecting
information via interviews and
document review on the overhead costs
and other costs related to HCV program
administration that cannot be captured
by measuring staff time spent on the
program. We will test these data
collection approaches at between 5 and
10 PHAs across the country. The results
of the pretest will be used to refine the
methodology used for the full study of
