Abstract: Grants to Improve the Criminal Justice Response (ICJR Program) is designed to encourage partnerships among State, local, and Tribal governments, courts, victim service providers, coalitions, and rape crisis centers to improve the criminal justice response to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking as serious violations of criminal law, and to seek safety and autonomy for victims. The ICJR Program challenges communities to work collaboratively to identify problems and share ideas that will result in effective responses to ensure victim safety and offender accountability. A coordinated community response that brings together effective partners from the local government including law enforcement agencies, prosecutors’ offices and courts, nonprofit organizations, and population specific organizations is critical to the ICJR Program. Eligible applicants are States and territories, units of local government, Indian Tribal governments, State, local, Tribal, and territorial courts, victim service providers, State and Tribal coalitions, and government rape crisis centers. This program is authorized by 34 U.S.C. 10461–10465. Overview of This Information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously approved collection. 2.

Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as the obligation to respond: The affected public includes 200 grantees from the ICJR Program which encourages State, local, and Tribal governments and State, local, and Tribal courts to treat domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking as serious violations of criminal law requiring the coordinated involvement of the entire criminal justice system. Eligible applicants are States and territories, units of local government, Indian Tribal governments, coalitions, victim service providers and State, local, Tribal, and territorial courts. 5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated that it will take the approximately 200 respondents (ICJR 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. An ICJR Program grantee will only be required to complete the sections of the form that pertain to its own specific activities (victim services, law enforcement, training, etc.). 6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data collection forms is 400 hours, that is 200 grantees completing a form twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one hour. 7.
