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.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the

    (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, and 2013. 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. The Department of Justice's Office on 
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 and 2013).

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

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.
