1Any portion of the closed session consisting 

solely of staff briefings does not fall within the 

Sunshine Act’s definition of the term ‘‘meeting’’

and, therefore, the requirements of the Sunshine 

Act do not apply to such portion of the closed 

session. 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(a)(2) and (b). See also 45 

CFR 1622.2 & 1622.3 

statute, eligible grantees for the Arrest 

Program are States, Indian tribal 

governments, State and local courts 

including juvenile courts, tribal courts, 

and units of local government. For the 

purpose of this Program, a unit of local 

government is any city, county, 

township, town, borough, parish, 

village, or other general-purpose 

political subdivision of a State; an 

Indian tribe that performs law 

enforcement functions as determined by 

the Secretary of Interior; or, for the 

purpose of assistance eligibility, any 

agency of the District of Columbia 

government or the United States 

Government performing law 

enforcement functions in and for the 

District of Columbia, and any Trust 

Territory of the U.S. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: It is estimated that it will take 

the 200 respondents (Arrest Program 

grantees) approximately one hour to 

complete a 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, i.e. training or 

developing a protection order registry, 

and the different types of grantees that 

receive funds, i.e. law enforcement 

agencies, prosecutors’ offices, courts, 

victim services agencies, etc. An Arrest 

Program grantee will only be required to 

complete those sections of the form that 

pertain to their 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 

400 hours, that is 200 grantees 

completing a form twice a year with an 

estimate completion time for the form 

being one hour.
