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 are
awarded to states and territories to
enhance the capacity of local
communities to develop and strengthen
effective law enforcement and
prosecution strategies to combat violent
crimes against women and to develop
and strengthen victim services in cases
involving violent crimes against women.
Each state and territory must allocate 25
percent for law enforcement, 25 percent
for prosecutors, 30 percent for victim
services (of which at least 10 percent
must be distributed to culturally
specific community-based
organizations), 5 percent to state and
local courts, and 15 percent for
discretionary distribution. VAWA
provides for a 25 percent match
requirement imposed on grant funds
under the STOP Formula Grant
Program. Thus, a grant made under this
program may not cover more than 75
percent of the total costs of the project
being funded. Under VAWA 2005, the
state cannot require matching funds for
a grant or subgrant for any tribe,
territory, or victim service provider,
regardless of funding allocation
category. The state is exempted from
matching the portion of the state award
that goes to a victim service provider for
victim services or that goes to tribes.
Territories are also exempted in full.
States can receive additional waiver of
match based on a petition to OVW and
a demonstration of financial need. OVW
will look at the time of closeout at the
entities and purposes of funds and base
the required match on that. The purpose
of this new information collection is to
provide a worksheet for documenting
the amount of matching funds required
at the closeout of a specific fiscal year
award under the STOP Formula Grant
Program. The type of questions on the
worksheet will include award number,
award amount, amount of funds subawarded to victim service providers for
victim services or to tribes.

respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to

(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

estimated completion time being ten

Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On April 16 2020, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the District of New Mexico in
the lawsuit entitled, City of Las Cruces
and Don˜a Ana County v. United States
of America, et al., Civil Action No.
2:17–cv–00809–JCH–GBW.
The City of Las Cruces and Don˜a Ana
County (‘‘City and County’’) filed this
lawsuit under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
(‘‘CERCLA’’) against the United States
Department of Defense and National
Guard Bureau. The United States filed
counterclaims, on behalf of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’), against the City and County.
The case pertains to liability for
response actions and response costs in
connection with the Griggs and Walnut
Ground Water Plume Superfund Site
located in Las Cruces, New Mexico
(‘‘the Site’’). Under the proposed
settlement, the United States will pay
$7,249,407 to resolve the United States’
liability at the Site, and the City and
County will pay $1,140,000 to the
United States in reimbursement of past
costs, will pay EPA’s future costs at the

Site and will perform the remedial
action, including the operation and
maintenance of a groundwater
extraction and treatment system. In
return, the United States agrees not to
sue the City and County under sections
106 and 107 of CERCLA or under
section 7003 of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act for
EPA’s past costs and for work that the
City and County have agreed to perform.
The City and County likewise agree not
to sue the United States under sections
106 and 107 of CERCLA with respect to
the Site. The City and County have also
asserted claims in this action against
four entities associated with current or
former dry cleaners in the area (i.e., The
Lofts at Alameda, LLC, American Linen
Supply of New Mexico, LLC, Rawson
Leasing Limited Liability Co., and
Chilsolm’s-Village Plaza, LLC), and
these claims are unaffected by the
proposed settlement.
