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 Sexual Assault Services Program--Grants to Culturally 
Specific Programs (SASP-Culturally Specific Program).
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0023. 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 11 grantees of the SASP Culturally Specific Program. This 
program supports projects that create, maintain and expand sustainable 
sexual assault services provided by culturally specific organizations, 
which are uniquely situated to respond to the needs of sexual assault 
victims within culturally specific populations.
    (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 11 respondents (SASP-
Culturally Specific 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 SASP-Culturally Specific 
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 22 hours, that is 11 grantees completing a form 
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one 
hour.
