(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Revisions to a currently approved 

collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Annual Progress Report for the STOP 

Formula Grants Program. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department of Justice sponsoring the

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 56 STOP state administrators (from 

50 states, the District of Columbia and 

five territories and commonwealths 

(Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, 

Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana 

Islands)) and their subgrantees. The 

STOP Violence Against Women 

Formula Grants Program was authorized 

through the Violence Against Women

49852 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2017 / Notices 

1Each year the number of STOP subgrantees 

changes. The number 2,500 is based on the number 

of reports that OVW has received in the past from 

STOP subgrantees. 

Act of 1994 (VAWA) and reauthorized 

and amended by the Violence Against 

Women Acts of 2000, 2005 and 2013. Its 

purpose is to promote a coordinated, 

multi-disciplinary approach to 

improving the criminal justice system’s 

response to violence against women. 

The STOP Formula Grants Program 

envisions a partnership among law 

enforcement, prosecution, courts, and 

victim advocacy organizations to 

enhance victim safety and hold 

offenders accountable for their crimes of 

violence against women. OVW 

administers the STOP Formula Grants 

Program. The grant funds must be 

distributed by STOP state 

administrators to subgrantees according 

to a statutory formula. 

OVW is proposing revisions to the 

progress reporting form to reflect 

statutory changes as a result of the 

reauthorization of VAWA grant 

programs in 2013 which added seven 

new purpose areas: Developing and 

promoting legislation and policies to 

enhance best practices for responding to 

domestic violence, dating violence, 

sexual assault, and stalking; developing 

Sexual Assault Response Teams and 

related coordinated community 

responses to sexual assault; improving 

investigation and prosecution of sexual 

assault cases and appropriate treatment 

of victims; responding to sexual assault 

against men, women, and youth in 

correctional settings; responding to 

backlogs of sexual assault evidence 

including developing protocols and 

policies for notifying and involving 

victims; improving responses to male 

and female victims whose ability to 

access traditional services and 

responses is affected by their sexual 

orientation or gender identity; and 

supporting prevention or educational 

programming (limited to five percent of 

the award amount). The reauthorization 

also ensured that domestic violence, 

dating violence, sexual assault, and 

stalking are included in all the statutory 

purpose areas and added legal 

assistance in purpose area for ‘‘victim 

assistance’’. 

(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 56 respondents (STOP 

administrators) approximately one hour 

to complete an annual progress report. 

It is estimated that it will take 

approximately one hour for roughly 

2500 subgrantees 1 to complete the 

relevant portion of the annual progress 

report. The Annual Progress Report for 

the STOP Formula Grants Program is 

divided into sections that pertain to the 

different types of activities that 

subgrantees may engage in and the 

different types of subgrantees that 

receive funds, i.e. law enforcement 

agencies, prosecutors’ offices, courts, 

victim services agencies, etc. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total annual hour burden 

to complete the annual progress report 

is 2,556 hours.
