Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Victims of Crime Act, Victim Assistance
Grant Program, Subgrant Award Report.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: Form number: 1121–0142.
Office for Victims of Crime, Office of
Justice Programs, U.S. Department of
Justice.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: State government.
Other: None. The VOCA, Crime Victim
Assistance Grant Program, Subgrant
Award Report is a required submission
by state grantees, within 90 days of their
awarding a subgrant for the provision of
crime victim services. VOCA and the
Program Guidelines require each state
victim assistance office to report to OVC
on the impact of the Federal funds, to
certify compliance with the eligibility
requirements of VOCA, and to provide
a summary of proposed activities. This
information will be aggregated and serve
as supporting documentation for the
Director’s biennial report to the
President and to the Congress on the
effectiveness of the activities supported
by these grants.
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved reporting
instrument, with no revisions.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: The number of VOCAfunded victim assistance programs
varies widely from State to State. A
review of information currently
available to this Office on the number of
active victim assistance programs in 15
states selected for variance in size and
population revealed that a State would
be responsible for entering subgrant data
for as many as 436 programs (California)
to as few as 12 programs (District of
Columbia).
The estimated time to enter a record
via the Grants Management System is
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
8271
three minutes (.05 hour). Therefore, the
estimated clerical time can range from
36 minutes to 22 hours, based on the
number of records that are entered. It
would take 295 hours to enter 5,900
responses electronically [5,900 × .05
hour].
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The current estimated
burden is 295 (5,900 responses × .05
hour per response = 295 hours). There
is no increase in the annual
recordkeeping and reporting burden.

and Planning Staff, Patrick Henry
