    Abstract: The Children and Youth & Engaging Men (CYEM) Program 
supports comprehensive, community-based efforts that develop and expand 
prevention, intervention, treatment, and response strategies to address 
the needs of children and youth impacted by domestic violence, dating 
violence, sexual assault, and stalking. In addition, the CYEM Program 
focuses on boys' and men's roles in ending violence against women by 
supporting projects that create educational programming and community 
organizing to encourage men and boys to work as allies with women and 
girls to prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, 
and stalking. Through its grant awards, the CYEM Program aims to build 
safe, supportive, and accountable communities by preventing physical 
and sexual violence.
    The CYEM program releases two separate funding opportunities under 
one program: (1) Children and Youth (CY) and (2) Engaging Men (EM). The 
EM program supports efforts to develop and implement strategies that 
engage, mobilize, and empower men and boys at individual, group, 
relational, and societal levels to serve as role models, positive 
influencers, change agents, and mentors to address and prevent domestic 
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
    Eligible applicants are: nonprofit, nongovernmental entities; 
tribal organizations; Indian tribal governments; and units of local 
government or agencies of units of local government in the United 
States or U.S. territories. Since FY 2012, this program has been 
authorized by federal appropriations acts, which consolidated four 
previously authorized and appropriated programs into one comprehensive 
program.

Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Semiannual Progress Report for

the Department sponsoring the collection: 1122-0027.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as the obligation to respond: Grantees from the Engaging Men and 
Youth Program. The affected public includes the approximately 8 
grantees of the CYEM Program who are implementing engaging men and 
youth projects. The CYEM Program creates a unique opportunity for 
communities to increase collaboration among non-profit victim service 
providers, violence prevention programs, and child and youth 
organizations serving victims ages 0-24. Additionally, it supports 
organizations and programs that promote boys' and men's role in 
combating violence against women and girls. Eligible applicants are 
nonprofit, nongovernmental entities, Indian tribes or tribal nonprofit 
organizations, and territorial, tribal or unit of local government 
entities.
    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 approximately 8 respondents (grantees from the 
CYEM Program who are implementing engaging men and youth projects) 
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 grantee activities.
    6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data 
collection forms is 16 hours, that is 8 grantees completing a form 
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one 
hour.
    7. The total annual hour burden to complete the data collection 
forms is 16 hours, that is 8 grantees completing a form twice a year 
with an estimated completion time for the form being one hour.
    8. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the 
collection, if applicable: The annualized costs to the Federal 
Government resulting from the OVW staff review of the progress reports 
submitted by grantees are estimated to be
