pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

which constitute subsidies within the 

meaning of section 703 of the Act (19 

U.S.C. 1671b) are being provided to 

manufacturers, producers, or exporters 

in China of cast iron soil pipe, and that 

such products are being sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

within the meaning of section 733 of the 

Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The 

investigations were requested in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written 

comments and suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies concerning 

the proposed collection of information 

are encouraged. Your comments should 

address one or more of the following 

four points: 

(1) 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; 

(2) 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; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) 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 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a currently 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 or units of local 

government, institutions of higher 

education including colleges and 

universities, tribal organizations, 

Federal, State, tribal, territorial or local 

courts or court-based programs, State 

sexual assault coalitions, State domestic 

violence coalitions; 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 

soliciting applications for funding. A 

program solicitation outlines the 

specifics of the funding program; 

describes the 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. 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 estimated that 

information will be collect annually 

from the 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 collection is 54,000 

hours.
