Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-Annual Progress Report for 
Grantees from the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual 
Assault, Stalking, and Child Abuse Enforcement Assistance Program
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0013. U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes the 
approximately 165 grantees of the Rural Program. The primary purpose of 
the Rural Program is to enhance the safety of victims of domestic 
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and child 
victimization by supporting projects uniquely designed to address and 
prevent these crimes in rural jurisdictions. Grantees include States, 
Indian tribes, local governments, and nonprofit, public or private 
entities, including tribal nonprofit organizations, to carry out 
programs serving rural areas or rural communities.
    (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 165 respondents (Rural 
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 in which 
grantees may engage. A Rural 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 330 hours, that is 165 grantees completing a form 
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one 
hour.
