expand and coordinated LINCS services

at the regional and state level.

Abstract: The National Institute for

Literacy (NIFL) was created by the

National Literacy Act of 1991 and

amended by the Workforce Investment

Act of 1998 to provide a national focal

point for literacy activities and to

facilitate the pooling of ideas and

expertise across a fragmented field. The

Act authorizes the NIFL to conduct

basic and applied research and

demonstrations on literacy; collect and

disseminate information to Federal,

State and local entities with respect to

literacy; and improve and expand the

system for delivery of literacy services.

The NIFL will provide funding to

organizations for the creation of regional

technology centers that will represent

and promote LINCS within their region;

work with the NIFL and other regional

technology centers to improve and

expand LINCS; provide literacy-related

resources through LINCS; and train

organizations and individuals in the use

of LINCS and technology and carry out

such other tasks as called for in the

information collection request.

Evaluations to determine successful

applications will be made by a panel of

literacy experts and information

specialists using the published criteria.

The NIFL will use this information to

make up to 5 cooperative agreement

awards for a period of up to three years.

Burden Statement: The burden for

this collection of information is

estimated at 55 hours per response for

the first year. This estimate includes the

time needed to review instructions,

complete the form, and review the

collection of information. No more than

five applicants will be awarded a threeyear cooperative agreement grant. Each

awardee will have an annual update of

the application requiring an average of

40 hours per response for each

continuation year.

Respondents: Public and private nonprofit organizations.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

15.

Estimated Number of Responses Per

Respondent: 1.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 79 hours.

Request for Comments

Section 3506 of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 USC Chapter

35) requires that the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) provide

interested Federal agencies and the

public an early opportunity to comment

on information collection requests.

OMB may amend or waive the

requirement for public consultation to

the extent that public participation in

the approval process would defeat the

purpose of the information collection,

violate State or Federal law, or

substantially interfere with any agency’s

ability to perform its statutory

obligations. The NIFL director publishes

that notice containing proposed

information collection requests prior to

submission of these requests to OMB.

Each proposed information collection

contains a burden statement that

includes the estimated burden hours

and other relevant information.

Requests for copies of the proposed

information collection request may be

accessed from www.nifl.gov/lines or

comments regarding burden and/or the

collection activity requirements should

be addressed to Jaleh Behroozi Soroui,

National Institute for Literacy, 1775 I

Street, NW, Suite 730, Washington, DC

20006. Requests also may be

electronically mailed to the internet

address jbehroozi@nifl.gov or faxed to

202–233–2050. Please specify the

complete title of the information

collection when making your request.
