    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes the 
approximately 85 grantees of the Grants to Indian Tribal Governments 
Program (Tribal Governments Program), a grant program authorized by the 
Violence Against Women Act of 2005. This discretionary grant program is 
designed to enhance the ability of tribes to respond to violent crimes 
against Indian women, enhance victim safety, and develop education and 
prevention strategies. Eligible applicants are recognized Indian tribal 
governments or their authorized designees.

its own specific activities.

with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data 
collection forms is 170 hours, that is 85 grantees completing a form 
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one 
hour.
