Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection: New collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-Annual Progress Report for
Grantees from the Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
XXXX. 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 15 grantees of the Tribal Sexual Assault Services
Program. The Sexual Assault Services Program (SASP), created by the
Violence Against Women Act of 2005 (VAWA 2005), is the first federal
funding stream solely dedicated to the provision of direct intervention
and related assistance for victims of sexual assault. The SASP
encompasses four different funding streams for States and Territories,
Tribes, State Sexual Assault Coalitions, Tribal Coalitions, and
culturally specific organizations. Overall, the purpose of SASP is to
provide intervention, advocacy, accompaniment, support services, and
related assistance for adult, youth, and child victims of sexual
assault, family and household members of victims, and those
collaterally affected by the sexual assault.
The Tribal SASP supports efforts to help survivors heal from sexual
assault trauma through direct intervention and related assistance from
social service organizations such as rape crisis centers through 24-
hour sexual assault hotlines, crisis intervention, and medical and
criminal justice accompaniment. The Tribal SASP will support such
services through the establishment, maintenance, and expansion of rape
crisis centers and other programs and projects to assist those
victimized by sexual assault.
(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 15 respondents (grantees
from the Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program) 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 Tribal SASP 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 30 hours, that is 15 grantees completing a form
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one
hour.
