information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:

--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice 
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical 
utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and

    Abstract: Authorized by 34 U.S.C. 12291(b)(11), the primary purpose 
of the OVW Technical Assistance Program is to provide direct assistance 
to grantees and their subgrantees to enhance the success of local 
projects they are implementing with VAWA grant funds. In addition, OVW 
is focused on building the capacity of criminal justice and victim 
services organizations to respond effectively to sexual assault, 
domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking and to foster 
partnerships between organizations that have not traditionally worked 
together to address violence against women, such as faith- and 
community-based organizations.
