    DOJ seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOJ notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive

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.
