(4) Affected public who will be asked

abstract: The affected public includes
the approximately 200 grantees of the

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.

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
