The estimates assume 100%
participation by all invited participants;
the actual participation in
brainstorming, sorting, and rating is
likely to be less, but since we cannot
predict the response rate, we are
calculating the burden for all invited
participants. The brainstorming task
will take respondents 5–10 minutes to
complete. The sorting task will take
respondents approximately 60–90
minutes to complete. The rating task
will take respondents approximately
30–60 minutes to complete. None of
these tasks will require participants to
complete in one sitting; rather,
participants who respond on a Web site
can return to work on task completion
as often as they choose, until the task
deadline. Respondents will have
approximately 4 weeks to brainstorm
and approximately 6 weeks to sort and
rate. Facilitated discussions will require
approximately 4–5 hours of
respondents’ time. Expert interviews
will require no more than 90 minutes of
respondents’ time.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are an estimated 1,568
total public burden hours associated
with this collection. This is planned to
be a one-time data collection.

victims of domestic violence, sexual
