requirements of the law.

grants, the basic, data, and training
grants, governed by two separate
Program Instructions (PIs). The training
and data grants are governed by the
‘‘new grant’’ PI and the basic grant is
governed by the ‘‘basic grant’’ PI.
Current PIs require separate
applications and program assessment
reports for each grant. Every State
applies for at least two of the grants
annually and most States apply for all
three. As many of the application
requirements are the same for all three
grants, this results in duplicative work
and high degrees of repetition for State
courts applying for more than one CIP
grant.
The purpose of this Program
Instruction is to streamline and simplify
the application and reporting processes
by consolidating the PIs into one single
PI and requiring one single,
consolidated application (App) package
and program assessment report (PAR)
per State court annually. These
revisions will satisfy statutory
programmatic requirements and reduce
both the number of required responses
and associated total burden hours for
State courts.
This new PI also describes
