SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the

the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those

other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic

Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently
approved collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Certification of Compliance with
the Statutory Eligibility Requirements of the Violence Against Women
Act as Amended.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0001. 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 STOP formula
grantees (50 states, the District of Columbia and five territories
(Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana
Islands). The STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program was
authorized through the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 and
reauthorized and amended in 2000, 2005, 2013 and
[[Page 23888]]
2022. The purpose of the STOP Formula Grant Program is to promote a
coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to improving the criminal
justice system's response to violence against women. It envisions a
partnership among law enforcement, prosecution, courts, and victim
advocacy organizations to enhance victim safety and hold offenders
accountable for their crimes of violence against women. The Department
of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) administers the
STOP Formula Grant Program funds which must be distributed by STOP
state administrators according to statutory formula (as amended in
2000, 2005, 2013, and 2022).
OVW is submitting this revision to a currently approved collection
to reflect changes made to the statutorily mandated certifications for
grantees under the STOP Formula Grant Program. To be eligible for
funds, applicants must certify that they are in compliance with
relevant requirements under 28 CFR part 90 and 34 U.S.C. 10441 through
10451.
The Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022, Public
Law 117-103, div. W, 136 Stat. 49, 840-962 (VAWA 2022), enacted on
March 15, 2022, improves and expands legal tools and grant programs
addressing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and
stalking. VAWA 2022 reauthorized critical grant programs created by the
original Violence Against Women Act and subsequent legislation,
established new programs, and strengthened Federal laws as well as
adding additional certification requirements for the STOP Formula Grant
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 approximately 56 respondents (state
administrators from the STOP Formula Grant Program) less than one hour
to complete a Certification of Compliance with the Statutory
Eligibility Requirements of the Violence Against Women Act, as amended.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the
Certification is less than 56 hours.
