the following four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is

be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Revision 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 
effective work concerning domestic violence, dating violence, sexual 
assault, or stalking.
    (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 120 respondents (grantees) 
approximately one hour to complete the 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 and the 
different types of grantees that receive funds. A Transitional Housing 
Program grantee will only be required to complete the sections of the 
form that pertain to its own specific activities.
    (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 240 hours, that is 120 grantees completing a form 
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one 
hour.
