    Abstract: The Violence Against Women Act of 2000 (VAWA 2000) 
authorized the Attorney General to award grants to state sexual assault 
and domestic violence coalitions. The Grants to State Sexual Assault 
and Domestic Violence Coalitions Program (State Coalitions Program) is 
intended to provide federal financial assistance to state coalitions to 
support the coordination of state victim services activities, and 
collaboration and coordination with federal, state, and local entities 
engaged in violence against women activities. 34 U.S.C. 10446.

Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-Annual Progress Report 
for the Grants to State Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Coalitions 
Program (State Coalitions Program)
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: 1122-0010.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as the obligation to respond: The affected public includes the 88 
grantees from the State Coalitions Program. The State Coalitions 
Program provides federal financial assistance to state coalitions to 
support the coordination of state victim services activities, and 
collaboration and coordination with federal, state, and local entities 
engaged in violence against women activities. The obligation to respond 
is required to obtain/retain a benefit.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated 
that it will take the approximately 88 respondents (State Coalitions 
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 State Coalitions 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 annual burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total annual burden hours for this collection 
is 176 hours, that is 88 grantees completing a form twice a year with 
an estimated completion time for the form being one hour.
    7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the 
collection, if applicable: The annualized costs to the Federal 
Government resulting from the OVW staff review of the progress reports 
submitted by grantees are estimated to be $9,856.
