    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as

grantees under the Justice for Families Program. The Justice for 
Families Program improves the response of all aspects of the civil and

involving allegations of child sexual abuse. Eligible applicants are 
states, units of local government, courts, Indian tribal governments,

for Families Program grantees) 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 Justice for Families 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 
collection forms is 140 hours, that is 70 grantees completing a form
