enforcement, probation, service
providers, and other partners to ensure
that non-Indians who commit crimes of
domestic violence, dating violence, and
violations of protection orders are held
accountable. The Tribal Jurisdiction
Program encourages the coordinated
involvement of the entire tribal criminal
justice system and victim service
providers to incorporate systemic
change that ensures victim safety and
offender accountability.

respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that it will
take the 20 respondents (Tribal

approximately one hour to complete a
semi-annual progress report. The semiannual progress report is divided into
sections that pertain to the different
types of activities that grantees may
engage in (i.e. victim services, training,
prosecutions, law enforcement
activities) and grantees will be expected
to provide information only in
connection with those activities
supported by OVW funding.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total annual hour burden
to complete the annual progress report
is 40 hours.
