—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;

—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;

—Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

                    —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:*

                    (1)                     *Type of information collection:*                     Information in response to the required data elements outlined in the solicitation template for programs funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.                

                    (2)                     *The title of the form/collection:*                     Office of Justice Programs and the Office on Violence Against Women Recovery Act solicitation template.                

                    (3)                     *The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection:*                     The form label is OMB No. 1121-0323. The Office of Audit, Assessment, and Management, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice is sponsoring the collection.                

                    (4)                     *Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract:*                     State agencies, tribal governments, local governments, colleges and universities, non-profit organizations, for-profit organizations and faith-based organizations. The purpose of the Recovery Act solicitation template is to provide a framework to develop program-specific announcements soliciting applications for funding. A program solicitation outlines the specifics of the funding program; describes requirements for eligibility; instructs an applicant on the necessary components of an application under a specific program (                    *e.g,*                     project activities and timeline, proposed budget); and provides registration dates, due dates, and instructions on how to apply within the designated application system.                

                    (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 information will be collected annually from 250 applicants, representing State agencies, tribal governments, local governments, colleges and universities, non-profit organizations, and for-profit organizations. Annual cost to the respondents is based on the number of hours involved in preparing and submitting a complete application package. 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 research and evaluation proposals, one of the most time-intensive types of applications solicited by OJP. The estimate of burden hours is based on OJP's prior experience with the application submission process.                

                    (6)                     *An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection:*                     The estimated public burden associated with this collection is 7,500 hours.                

*If additional information is required contact:*                     Ms. Lynn Bryant, Department Clearance Officer, United States Department of Justice, Justice Management Division, Policy and Planning Staff, Suite 1600, 601 D Street, NW., Washington, DC 20530.
