    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes the 
approximately 18 grantees of the Abuse in Later Life Program. Abuse in

Federal, State, tribal, and local courts in recognizing, addressing, 
investigating, and prosecuting instances of elder abuse, neglect, and 
exploitation and violence against individuals with disabilities, 
including domestic violence and sexual assault, against older or 
disabled individuals. Grantees fund projects that focus on providing 
training for criminal justice professionals to enhance their ability to 
address elder abuse, neglect and exploitation in their communities and 
enhanced services to address these crimes.
    (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 18 respondents (Abuse in 
Later Life 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 in which 
grantees may engage. An Abuse in Later Life 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 36 hours, that is 18 grantees completing a form
