territories (Guam, Puerto Rico,
American Samoa, Virgin Islands,
Northern Mariana Islands). The STOP
Violence Against Women Formula Grant
Program was authorized through the
Violence Against Women Act of 1994
and reauthorized and amended by the
Violence Against Women Act of 2000,
the Violence Against Women Act of
2005 and the Violence Against Women
Act of 2013. The purpose of the STOP
Formula Grant Program is to promote a
coordinated, multi-disciplinary
approach to improving the criminal
justice system’s response to violence
against women. It envisions a
partnership among law enforcement,
prosecution, courts, and victim
advocacy organizations to enhance
victim safety and hold offenders
accountable for their crimes of violence
against women. The Department of
Justice’s Office on Violence Against
Women (OVW) administers the STOP
Formula Grant Program funds which
must be distributed by STOP state
administrators according to statutory.
As a result of VAWA 2013 and the
penalty provision of the Prison Rape
Elimination Act (PREA), States are
required to certify compliance with
PREA. If States cannot certify
compliance, they have the option of
forfeiting five percent of covered funds
or executing an assurance that five
percent of covered funds will be used
towards coming into compliance with
PREA.
(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 56 respondents
(state administrators from the STOP
Formula Grant Program) 10 minutes to
complete a Certification of Compliance
with the Statutory Eligibility
Requirements of the Violence Against
Women Act, as amended and the Prison
Rape Elimination Act.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total annual hour burden
to complete the Certification is less than
10 hours.

Proposed Collection, Comment
Request
AGENCY:
Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Labor.
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95). This program helps to ensure
that requested data can be provided in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements on respondents
can be properly assessed. The Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed new
collection of the ‘‘Quick Business
Survey Operations Test.’’ A copy of the
proposed information collection request

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
intends to conduct an operations test of
a Quick Business Survey (QBS). The
BLS will conduct the test to evaluate
QBS survey processes and operations in
a possible production environment. If
successful, a QBS would permit BLS to
collect information about the U.S.
economy more efficiently than is
currently possible. This would allow
data users to be able to understand the
impact of specific events on the
economy in a timely manner. Relevancy
is one of BLS’s main missions, and a
QBS would allow BLS to provide
information to the public in a more
timely way that would be far more
relevant to data users.
Each year, the Quarterly Census of
Employment and Wages (QCEW)
Program conducts the Annual Refiling
Survey (ARS) by reaching out to
approximately 1.2 million
establishments requesting verification of
their main business activity, and their
mailing and physical location addresses.
The fully web-based ARS provides a
low-cost platform for conducting the
QBS. The QBSs accompanying the ARS
would have little data collection
overhead, leveraging the address
refinement, printing, and mailing efforts
that are undertaken as part of the
production ARS. Respondents already
logged into the ARS secure Web site
could be directed to a QBS and asked
to answer a limited number of
additional survey questions after
completing the ARS.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the Quick
Business Survey (QBS) Operations Test.
