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

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Approval of a new collection.

the Consolidated Grant Program to Address Children and Youth 
Experiencing Domestic and Sexual Assault and Engage Men and Boys as 
Allies.
    (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 30 
grantees under the Consolidated Youth Program. The Consolidated Grant 
Program to Address Children and Youth Experiencing Domestic and Sexual 
Assault and Engage Men and Boys as Allies (Consolidated Youth Program) 
was enacted in the FY 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 appropriation 
acts, which consolidated four previously authorized and appropriated 
programs into one comprehensive program. The

[[Page 49853]]

previously authorized and appropriated four programs included in these 
consolidations were: Services to Advocate for and Respond to Youth, 
Grants to Assist Children and Youth Exposed to Violence, Engaging Men 
and Youth in Preventing Domestic Violence and Supporting Teens through 
Education and Prevention grant programs. The Consolidated Youth Program 
creates a unique opportunity for communities to increase collaboration 
among non-profit victim service providers, violence prevention 
programs, and child and youth organizations serving victims ages 0-24. 
Additionally, it supports organizations and programs that promote boys' 
and men's role in combating violence against women and girls. Eligible 
applicants are nonprofit, nongovernmental entities, Indian tribes or 
tribal nonprofit organizations, and territorial, tribal or unit of 
local government entities.
    (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 30 respondents (Consolidated Youth 
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, prevention 
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 60 hours.
