## Overview of this Information Collection

                    (1)                     *Type of Information Collection:*                     Extension of a currently approved collection.                

                    (2)                     *Title of the Form/Collection:*                     Victims of Crime Act, Crime Victim Assistance Grant Program, Subgrant Award Report.                

                    (3)                     *Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection:*                     The form number is 1121-0142. Office for Victims of Crime, 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:*                     Primary: State government. Other: None. The VOCA, Crime Victim Assistance Grant Program, Subgrant Award Report is a required submission by state grantees, within 90 days of their awarding a subgrant for the provision of crime victim services. VOCA and the Program Guidelines require each state victim assistance office to report to OVC on the impact of the Federal funds, to certify compliance with the eligibility requirements of VOCA, and to provide a summary of proposed activities. This information will be aggregated and serve as supporting documentation for the Director's biennial report to the President and to the Congress on the effectiveness of the activities supported by these grants. This request is for an extension of a currently approved reporting instrument, with no revisions.                

                    (5)                     *An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply:*                     The number of VOCA-funded victim assistance programs varies widely from State to State. A review of information currently available to this Office on the number of active victim assistance programs in 15 states selected for variance in size and                           ( print page 8279)                        population revealed that a State would be responsible for entering subgrant data for as many as 499 programs (California) to as few as 9 programs (District of Columbia).                

The estimated time to enter a record via the Grants Management System is three minutes (.05 hour). Therefore, the estimated clerical time can range from 27 minutes to 25 hours, based on the number of records that are entered. It would take 265 hours to enter 5,300 responses electronically [5,300 × .05 hour].

                    (6)                     *An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection:*                     The current estimated burden is 265 (5,300 responses × .05 hour per response = 265 hours). There is no increase in the annual recordkeeping and reporting burden.
