ACTION: 60-Day notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women 
(OVW) will be submitting the following information collection request 
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES:  Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days until 
October 16, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Written comments and/or suggestion 
regarding the items contained in this notice, especially the estimated 
public burden and associated response time, should be directed to Cathy 
Poston, Office on Violence Against Women, at 202-514-5430 or 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the 
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, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (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;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
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, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Revisions to a currently 
approved collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semiannual Progress Report for 
the Improving Criminal Justice Responses to Sexual Assault, Domestic 
Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Grant Program.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0006. 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 200 grantees 
from the Improving Criminal Justice Responses to Sexual Assault, 
Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Grant Program (ICJR 
Program) (also known as Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and 
Enforcement of Protection Orders) which encourages state, local, and 
tribal governments and state, local, and tribal courts to treat 
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking as 
serious violations of criminal law requiring the coordinated 
involvement of the entire criminal justice system. Eligible applicants 
are states and territories, units of local government, Indian tribal 
governments, coalitions, victim service providers and state, local, 
tribal, and territorial courts.
    OVW is proposing revisions to the progress reporting form to 
reflect statutory changes as a result of the reauthorization of VAWA 
grant programs in 2013 which added nine new purpose areas: training 
prosecutors; improving the response of the criminal justice system to 
immigrant victims; developing and promoting legislation and policies to 
enhance best practices for responding to domestic violence, dating 
violence, sexual assault, and stalking; developing Sexual Assault 
Forensic Examiner programs; developing Sexual Assault Response Teams or 
similar CCRs to sexual assault; improving investigation and prosecution 
of sexual assault and treatment of victims; providing HIV testing, 
counseling, and prophylaxis for victims; addressing sexual assault 
evidence backlogs including notifying and involving victims; and 
developing multi-disciplinary high-risk teams for reducing domestic 
violence and dating violence homicides.
    (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 200 respondents (ICJR 
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 in which 
grantees may engage. An ICJR Program grantee will only be required to 
complete the sections of the form that pertain to its own specific 
activities (victim services, law enforcement, training, etc.).
    (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 400 hours, that is 200 grantees completing a form 
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one 
hour.
