Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-Annual Progress Report 
for Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on Campus Program 
(Campus Program).
    3. The agency form number: 1122-0005.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: Campus Program Grantees.
    Other:
    Abstract: The affected public includes the approximately 100 
grantees (institutions of higher education) of the 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.
    OVW uses data from the information collection in different ways. 
OVW will use the information collected from Campus Program grantees to 
monitor their grant-funded activities. OVW will review each semi-annual 
progress report to monitor an individual grantee's performance, 
including the grant-funded activities, and to ensure that the goals and 
objectives set forth in applications for funding and award documents 
are met.
    In addition, information collected from grantees will enable OVW to 
respond to statutory requirements to report to Congress on the 
effectiveness of grant-funded activities.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 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: 200 hours.
