approved collection.
[[Page 17099]]
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-annual Progress Report for
the Technical Assistance Program.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0017. 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 100 programs
providing technical assistance as recipients under the Technical
Assistance Program.
(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 100 respondents (Technical Assistance
providers) approximately one hour to complete a semi-annual progress
report twice a year. The semi-annual progress report for the Technical
Assistance Program is divided into sections that pertain to the
different types of activities in which Technical Assistance Providers
are engaged.
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.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the semi-
annual progress report form is 200 hours. It will take approximately
one hour for the grantees to complete the form twice a year.
