collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Office for Victims of Crime 
Training and Technical Assistance Center-Trafficking Information 
Management System (TIMS).

    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: OVC Grantees. Abstract: The current 
package for OMB approval is designed to simplify performance reporting 
for OVC grantees through the OVC Trafficking Information Management 
System (TIMS) Online system, a Web-based database and reporting system 
for the Victims of Human Trafficking Grant and the Enhanced 
Collaborative Model Grant initiatives. OVC will require OVC Grantees to 
use this electronic tool to submit grant performance data, including 
demographics about human trafficking victims. OVC intends to publish an 
annual analysis of these data to provide the crime victims' field with 
stronger evidence for practices and programs.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond:
    There are approximately 35-45 OVC Services to Victims of Human 
Trafficking Grantees per six-month reporting period. On average, it 
should take each grantee one hour to seven hours, depending on client 
case load per reporting period, to enter information into TIMS Online. 
There are two reporting periods per year.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: Their total annual public burden hours for this 
information collection are estimated to be 320 hours (average 40 OVC 
grantees * average 4 hours * 2 times per year).
