estimated that it will take the approximately 28 respondents (Justice

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. A Justice for Families Program grantee will
only be required to complete the sections of the form that pertain to
its own specific activities.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data
collection forms is 56 hours, that is 28 grantees completing a form
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one
hour.
