    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes the 
approximately 45 grantees of the Services to Advocate for and Respond 
to Youth Program. This is the first Federal funding stream solely 
dedicated to the provision of direct intervention and related 
assistance for youth victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, 
dating violence and stalking. Overall, the purpose of the Youth 
Services Program is to provide direct counseling, advocacy, legal 
advocacy, and mental health services for youth victims of sexual

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. A 
Services to Advocate for and Respond to Youth 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
