public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of 
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,

    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;

be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,

other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Approval of a new collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-annual progress report for 
the Grants to Tribal Governments to Exercise Special Domestic Violence 
Criminal Jurisdiction Program (Tribal Jurisdiction Program).
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
XXXX. 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 estimated 20 
grantees under the Tribal Jurisdiction Program, a new grant program 
authorized in the Violence Against Women reauthorization Act of 2013. 
The Tribal Jurisdiction Program is designed to assist Indian tribes in 
exercising special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction (SDVCJ). 
Through this grant program, Indian tribes will receive support and 
technical assistance for planning, developing and implementing changes 
in their criminal justice systems necessary to exercise SDVCJ. The 
program encourages collaborations among tribal leadership, tribal 
courts, tribal prosecutors, tribal attorneys, tribal defenders, law 
enforcement, probation, service providers, and other partners to ensure 
that non-Indians who commit crimes of domestic violence, dating 
violence, and violations of protection orders are held accountable. The 
Tribal Jurisdiction Program encourages the coordinated involvement of 
the entire tribal criminal justice system and victim service providers 
to incorporate systemic change that ensures victim safety and offender 
accountability.
    (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 20 respondents (Tribal Jurisdiction 
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 that 
grantees may engage in (i.e. victim services, training, prosecutions, 
law enforcement activities) and grantees will be expected to provide 
information only in connection with those activities supported by OVW 
funding.
    (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 40 hours.
