Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Extension of currently approved 
collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semiannual Progress Report for 
the Improving Criminal Justice Responses to Sexual Assault, Domestic 
Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Grant 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 200 grantees 
from the Improving Criminal Justice Responses to Sexual Assault, 
Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Grant Program (ICJR 
Program) (also known as Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and 
Enforcement of Protection Orders) which encourages state, local, and 
tribal governments and state, local, and tribal courts to treat 
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking as 
serious violations of criminal law requiring the coordinated 
involvement of the entire criminal justice system. Eligible applicants 
are states and territories, units of local government, Indian tribal 
governments, coalitions, victim service providers and state, local, 
tribal, and territorial courts.
    (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 (ICJR 
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 ICJR Program grantee will only be required to 
complete the sections of the form that pertain to its own specific 
activities (victim services, law enforcement, training, etc.).
    (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.
