DOJ Keeps Tabs on Victim Aid Grants with Form Extension
Published Date: 1/23/2026
Notice
Summary
The Department of Justice is asking to keep using a form that helps track how grants support victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Agencies using these grants will keep reporting every six months, and the public can comment on this process until February 23, 2026. This keeps the paperwork clear and easy while making sure the help keeps flowing smoothly.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Semi‑annual reports required for FAV grantees
If you are a grantee in the FAV Program (victim service providers, Tribal governments, or Tribal organizations), you must keep filing a semi‑annual performance report. The DOJ estimates about 16 grantees will each submit the form twice a year, with each report taking about 1 hour (total annual burden 32 hours); public comments on this collection are accepted through February 23, 2026.
Form limited to relevant program activities
If you are a FAV Program grantee, you will only need to complete the sections of the performance form that relate to the specific activities your grant supports. This limits how much of the form each grantee must fill out.
