Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection: Approval of a new collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semi- annual progress report for
the Grants to Tribal Governments to Exercise Special Domestic Violence
Criminal Jurisdiction Program (Tribal Jurisdiction Program).
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-NEW.
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 estimated 20
grantees under the Tribal Jurisdiction Program, a new grant program
authorized in the Violence Against Women reauthorization Act of 2013.
The Tribal Jurisdiction Program is designed to assist Indian tribes in
exercising special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction (SDVCJ).
Through this grant program, Indian tribes will receive support and
technical assistance for planning, developing and implementing changes
in their criminal justice systems necessary to exercise SDVCJ. The
program encourages collaborations among tribal leadership, tribal
courts, tribal prosecutors, tribal attorneys, tribal defenders, law
enforcement, probation, service providers, and other partners to ensure
that non-Indians who commit crimes of domestic violence, dating
violence, and violations of protection orders are held accountable. The
Tribal Jurisdiction Program encourages the coordinated involvement of
the entire tribal criminal justice system and victim service providers
to incorporate systemic change that ensures victim safety and offender
accountability.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time
[[Page 2444]]
estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is estimated
that it will take the 20 respondents (Tribal Jurisdiction 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, prosecutions, law enforcement
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 40 hours.
