the approximately 200 grantees of the 

Legal Assistance for Victims Grant 

Program (LAV Program) whose 

eligibility is determined by statute. In 

1998, Congress appropriated funding to 

provide civil legal assistance to 

domestic violence victims through a setaside under the Grants to Combat 

Violence Against Women, Public Law 

105–277. In the Violence Against 

Women Act of 2000 and again in 2005, 

Congress statutorily authorized the LAV 

Program. 42 U.S.C. 3796gg–6. The LAV 

Program is intended to increase the 

availability of legal assistance necessary 

to provide effective aid to victims of 

domestic violence, stalking, or sexual 

assault who are seeking relief in legal 

matters arising as a consequence of that 

abuse or violence. The LAV Program 

awards grants to law school legal 

clinics, legal aid or legal services 

programs, domestic violence victims’ 

shelters, bar associations, sexual assault 

programs, private nonprofit entities, and 

Indian tribal governments. These grants 

are for providing direct legal services to 

victims of domestic violence, sexual 

assault, and stalking in matters arising 

from the abuse or violence and for 

providing enhanced training for lawyers 

representing these victims. The goal of 

the Program is to develop innovative, 

collaborative projects that provide 

quality representation to victims of 

domestic violence, sexual assault, and 

stalking. 

(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 it will 

take the approximately 200 respondents 

(LAV Program grantees) 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 

activities that grantees may engage in 

and the different types of grantees that 

receive funds. An LAV Program grantee 

will only be required to complete the 

sections of the form that pertain to its 

own specific activities. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total annual hour burden 

to complete the data collection forms is 

400 hours, that is 200 grantees 

completing a form twice a year with an 

estimated completion time for the form 

being one hour.
