approved collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: OVW Solicitation Template.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0020. U.S. Department of Justice, OVW.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: The affected public includes 
applicants to OVW grant programs authorized under the Violence Against 
Women Act of 1994 as amended. These include States, territories, Tribes

territorial domestic violence or sexual assault coalitions, tribal 
coalitions, community-based organizations, and non-profit, 
nongovernmental organizations. The purpose of the solicitation template 
is to provide a framework to develop program-specific announcements

system. OVW is proposing revisions to the current OMB-approved 
solicitation template to reduce duplicative language, employ plain 
language, ensure consistency, outline all requirements clearly, and 
conform with 2 CFR part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost 
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal 
Awards.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is

approximately 1800 respondents (applicants to the OVW grant programs). 
The public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated at up to 30 hours per application. The 30-hour estimate is 
based on the amount of time to prepare a narrative, budget and other 
materials for the application and, if required, to coordinate with and 
develop a memorandum of understanding with requisite project partners.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this
