    (1) Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-Annual Progress Report for 
Grantees from the Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on 
Campus Program (Campus Program).
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0005. U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes the 
approximately 100 grantees (institutions of higher education) of the 
Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on Campus Program whose 
eligibility is determined by statute. Campus Program grants may be used 
to enhance victim services and develop programs to prevent violent 
crimes against women on campuses. The Campus Program also enables 
institutions of higher education to develop and strengthen effective 
security and investigation strategies to combat violent crimes against 
women on campuses, including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual 
assault, and stalking.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is 
estimated that it will take the approximately 100 respondents (Campus 
Program grantees) approximately one hour to complete a semi-annual 
progress report. The semi-annual progress report is divided into 
sections that pertain to the different types of activities in which 
grantees may engage. A Campus Program grantee will only be required to 
complete the sections of the form that pertain to its own specific 
activities.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data 
collection forms is 200 hours, that is 100 grantees completing a form 
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one 
hour.
