Overview of This Information Collection

    (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 Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement 
of Protection Orders Program.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0006. 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 200 grantees from the Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies 
and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program (Arrest Program) which 
recognizes that sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and 
stalking are crimes that require the criminal justice system to hold 
offenders accountable for their actions through investigation, arrest, 
and prosecution of violent offenders, and through close judicial 
scrutiny and management of offender behavior.
    (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 200 respondents (Arrest 
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. An Arrest 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 400 hours, that is 200 grantees completing a form 
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one 
hour.
