Abstract: Grants to Improve the Criminal Justice Response (ICJR
Program) is designed to encourage partnerships among State, local, and
Tribal governments, courts, victim service providers, coalitions, and
rape crisis centers to improve the criminal justice response to
domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking as
serious violations of criminal law, and to seek safety and autonomy for
victims.
The ICJR Program challenges communities to work collaboratively to
identify problems and share ideas that will result in effective
responses to ensure victim safety and offender accountability. A
coordinated community response that brings together effective partners
from the local government including law enforcement agencies,
prosecutors' offices and courts, nonprofit organizations, and
population specific organizations is critical to the ICJR Program.
Eligible applicants are States and territories, units of local
government, Indian Tribal governments, State, local, Tribal, and
territorial courts, victim service providers, State and Tribal
coalitions, and government rape crisis centers. This program is
authorized by 34 U.S.C. 10461-10465.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously
approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Semiannual Progress Report for
the Improving Criminal Justice Responses to Sexual Assault, Domestic
Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Grant Program.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: 1122-0006.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as the obligation to respond: The affected public includes 200
grantees from the ICJR Program which encourages State, local, and
Tribal governments and State, local, and Tribal courts to treat
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking as
serious violations of criminal law requiring the coordinated
involvement of the entire criminal justice system. Eligible applicants
are States and territories, units of local government, Indian Tribal
governments, coalitions, victim service providers and State, local,
Tribal, and territorial courts.
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 200 respondents (ICJR 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. An ICJR Program grantee will only be required to complete the
sections of the form that pertain to its own specific activities
(victim services, law enforcement, training, etc.).
6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data
collection forms is 400 hours, that is 200 grantees completing a form
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one
hour.
7. The total annual hour burden to complete the data collection
forms is 400 hours, that is 200 grantees completing a form twice a year
with an estimated completion time for the form being one hour.
8. 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 $11,200.
