Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Revision to Currently Approved 
Collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Annual Progress Report for STOP 
Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0003. 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 the 56 STOP 
state administrators (from 50 states, the District of Columbia and five 
territories and commonwealths (Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, 
Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands)) and their sub-grantees. The 
STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grants Program was authorized 
through the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) and reauthorized 
and amended in 2000, 2005, and 2013. Its purpose is to promote a 
coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to improving the criminal 
justice system's response to violence against women. The STOP Formula 
Grants Program 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 Grants 
Program. The grant funds must be distributed by STOP state 
administrators to sub-grantees according to a statutory formula (as 
amended).
    (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 56 respondents (STOP administrators) 
approximately one hour to complete an annual progress report. It is 
estimated that it will take approximately one hour for roughly 2500 
sub-grantees \1\ to complete the relevant portion of the annual 
progress report. The Annual Progress Report for the STOP Formula Grants 
Program is divided into sections that pertain to the different types of 
activities that sub-grantees may engage in and the different types of 
subg-rantees that receive funds, i.e. law enforcement agencies, 
prosecutors' offices, courts, victim services agencies, etc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Each year the number of STOP subgrantees changes. The number 
2,500 is based on the number of reports that OVW has received in the 
past from STOP subgrantees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the 
annual progress report is 2,556 hours.
