—Evaluate whether the proposed

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Bureau of Justice 

Statistics, 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; 

—Evaluate whether and if so how the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected can be 

enhanced; and 

—Minimize the burden of the collection 

of information on those who are to

Abstract: The Office on Violence 

Against Women (OVW) administers 

financial support and technical 

assistance to communities around the 

country that are creating programs, 

policies, and practices aimed at ending 

domestic violence, dating violence, 

sexual assault and stalking. Its mission 

is to provide national leadership to 

improve the Nation’s response to these 

crimes through the implementation of 

the Violence Against Women Act of 

1994 (VAWA) as amended and 

reauthorized in 2000, 2005, 2013 and 

2022. OVW pursues this mission by 

supporting community efforts, 

enhancing education and training, 

disseminating best practices, launching

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 231 / Monday, December 2, 2024 / Notices 95241 

special initiatives, and leading the 

Nation’s efforts to end violence against 

women. 

Currently, OVW administers 

discretionary grant programs and 

formula grant programs, all of which 

were established under VAWA and 

subsequent legislation. Since its 

inception in 1995, OVW has awarded 

billions in grant funding and 

cooperative agreements and has 

launched a multifaceted approach to 

implementing VAWA. These grant 

programs are designed to develop the 

nation’s capacity to reduce domestic 

violence, dating violence, sexual 

assault, and stalking by strengthening 

services to victims and holding 

offenders accountable for their action. 

OVW posts notice of funding 

opportunities (NOFO) (previously 

referred to as solicitations), closes 

NOFO periods, performs initial internal 

reviews, conducts peer reviews, makes 

funding decisions and ultimately makes 

awards on a staggered basis by grant 

program according to a master calendar 

that ensures that grant awards are made 

in a timely manner in a specific fiscal 

year. The date of the posting of a NOFO 

is set by working backwards from the 

date that OVW is required to award 

grant funds. 

OVW developed a NOFO template 

and an accompanying NOFO Guide to 

assist potential grantees in applying for 

current OVW programs. The NOFO 

template ensures that all applicants to 

OVW grant programs will be asked to 

provide uniform information in a 

consistent manner. The information 

addressed in the template includes: 

Application for Federal Assistance; 

Summary Data Sheet; Proposal Abstract; 

Summary of Other Federal Funding; 

Proposal Narrative; Budget Worksheet 

and Narrative; Memorandum of 

Understanding (MOU); Letter of 

Nonsupplanting; Financial Capability 

Questionnaire; and Indirect Cost Rate 

Agreement and additional items. Each 

NOFO is tailored to address the specific 

OVW grant program so that 

identification of eligible applicants, 

availability of funds, award period, 

award amount, program scope, activities 

that may compromise victim safety and 

recovery or undermine offender 

accountability and unallowable 

activities will be consistent with the 

statutory requirements and funding 

amounts authorized for each particular 

grant program. 

The purpose of the NOFO template is 

to provide a framework to develop 

program-specific announcements 

soliciting applications for funding. A 

program NOFO 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.

Extension of a previously approved 

collection. 

2. The Title of the Form/Collection:

Tribal coalitions, community-based 

organizations, and non-profit, 

nongovernmental organizations. The 

purpose of the NOFO template is to 

provide a framework to develop

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: It is estimated that information 

will be collect annually from the 

approximately 1,800 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

understanding with requisite project 

partners.

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 $201,600.
