The VOCA, Crime Victim Assistance Grant Program, State Performance Report is a required annual submission by state grantees to report to the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) on the uses and effects VOCA victim assistance grant funds have had on services to crime victims in the State, to certify compliance with the eligibility requirement of VOCA, and to provide a summary of supported activities carried out within the State during the grant period. 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. (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: The information to compile these reports will be drawn from victim assistance program data to the 56 respondents (grantees). The number of victim assistance programs varies widely from state to state. A state could be responsible for compiling subgrant data for as many as 436 PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 programs (California) to as few as 12 programs (District of Columbia).
