Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-Annual Progress Report for 
the Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program (Tribal Governments 
Program).
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the

0018. U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes the 
approximately 85 grantees of the Grants to Indian Tribal Governments 
Program (Tribal Governments Program), a grant program authorized by the 
Violence Against Women Act of 2005. This discretionary grant program is 
designed to enhance the ability of tribes to respond to violent crimes 
against Indian women, enhance victim safety, and develop education and 
prevention strategies. Eligible applicants are recognized Indian tribal 
governments or their authorized designees.

with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data
