    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes the estimated 30 
grantees under the Consolidated Youth Program. The Consolidated Grant 
Program to Address Children and Youth Experiencing Domestic and Sexual 
Assault and Engage Men and Boys as Allies (Consolidated Youth Program) 
was enacted in the FY 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 appropriation 
acts, which consolidated four previously authorized and appropriated 
programs into one comprehensive program. The previously authorized and 
appropriated four programs included in these consolidations were: 
Services to Advocate for and Respond to Youth, Grants to Assist 
Children and Youth Exposed to Violence, Engaging Men and Youth in 
Preventing Domestic Violence and Supporting Teens through Education and 
Prevention grant programs. The Consolidated Youth Program creates a 
unique opportunity for communities to increase collaboration among non-
profit victim service providers, violence prevention programs, and 
child and youth organizations serving victims ages 0-24. Additionally, 
it supports organizations and programs that promote boys' and men's 
role in combating violence against women and girls. Eligible applicants 
are nonprofit, nongovernmental entities, Indian tribes or tribal 
nonprofit organizations, and territorial, tribal or unit of local 
government entities.
    (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 30 respondents (Consolidated Youth 
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 that 
grantees may engage in (i.e. victim services, training, prevention 
activities) and grantees will be expected to provide information only 
in connection with those activities supported by OVW funding.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the 
annual progress report is 60 hours.
