    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Under the Violent Crime and Control Act of 1994, the U.S. 
Department of Justice COPS Office would require the completion of the 
COPS Progress Report by recipients of COPS hiring and non-hiring 
grants. Grant recipients must complete this report in order to inform 
COPS of their activities with their awarded grant funding.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 1,200 
grantees will be required to submit an active progress report each 
quarter. The estimated range of burden for respondents is expected to 
be between 20 minutes to 25 minutes for each quarterly completion.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection:
    The estimated public burden associated with this collection is 2000 
hours. It is estimated that respondents will take up to 25 minutes each 
quarter to complete the quarterly progress report. The burden hours for 
collecting respondent data sum to 2000 hours (1200 respondents x .4167 
hours x 4 times annually = 2000 hours).
