collaterally affected by the sexual assault. The SASP supports the

semi-annual progress report. The semi-annual progress report is divided 
into sections that pertain to the different types of activities in

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
