Overview of This Information

    (1) Type of information collection: Reinstatement, with no change, 
of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired.
    (2) The title of the form/collection: Victims of Crime Act, Crime 
Victim Assistance Grant Program Performance Report.
    (3) The agency form number if any, the applicable component of the 
Department sponsoring the collection. Form: OJP Admin. Form 7330 (Rev. 
11/95), Office for Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. 
Department of Justice.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract. Primary: State government. Other: None.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent/reply: The information to 
compile these reports will be drawn from victim assistance program data 
to the 57 respondents (grantees). The number of victim assistance 
programs vary widely from state to state. A grantee could be 
responsible for compiling subgrant data for as many of 186 programs 
(Texas) to as few as four (4) programs (Guam). Therefore, the estimated 
clerical hours can range from 1 to 70 hours.
    (6) An estimate of the total burden (in hours) associated with the 
collection: the current estimated recordkeeping and reporting burden is 
1,197 (20 hours per respondent (estimated median) + 1 hour per 
respondent for recordkeeping  x  57 respondents for recordkeeping = 
1,197 hours). There is no increase in the annual recordkeeping and 
reporting burden.
