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 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, STOP Formula Grant Program.
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 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. 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).
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.
7. 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 $3,278.00.
