Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently 
approved collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-Annual Progress Report for 
Education, Training and Enhanced Services to End Violence Against and 
Abuse of Women With Disabilities Grant Program (Disability Grant 
Program).
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0012. 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 18 grantees of the Disability Grant Program. Grantees 
include states, units of local government, Indian tribal governments or 
tribal organizations and non-governmental private organizations. The 
goal of this program is to build the capacity of such jurisdictions to 
address such violence against individuals with disabilities through the 
creation of multi-disciplinary teams. Disability Grant Program 
recipients will provide training, consultation, and information on 
domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual assault 
against individuals with disabilities and enhance direct services to 
such individuals.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is 
estimated that it will take the approximately 18 respondents 
(Disability 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 Disability 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 36 hours, that is 18 grantees completing a form 
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one 
hour.
