information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is

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: Extension to Currently Approved 
Collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-Annual Progress Report for 
Grantees of the Transitional Housing Assistance Grant Program.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0016. 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 
approximately 120 grantees of the Transitional Housing Assistance Grant 
Program (Transitional Housing Program) whose eligibility is determined 
by statute. This discretionary grant program provides transitional 
housing, short-term housing assistance, and related support services 
for individuals who are homeless, or in need of transitional housing or 
other housing assistance, as a result of fleeing a situation of 
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, and 
for whom emergency shelter services or other crisis intervention 
services are unavailable or insufficient. Eligible applicants are 
States, units of local government, Indian tribal governments, and other 
organizations, including domestic violence and sexual assault victim 
services providers, domestic violence or sexual assault coalitions, 
other nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations, or community-based and 
culturally specific organizations, that have a documented history of

approximately one hour to complete the Semi-Annual Progress Report. The 
semi-annual progress report is divided into sections that pertain to

form that pertain to its own specific activities.

with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data
