Title: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Carryover
and Reallotment Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0106.
Description: The LIHEAP statute and regulations require LIHEAP
grantees to report certain information to HHS concerning funds
forwarded and funds subject to reallotment. The 1993 reauthorization of
the LIHEAP statute, the Human Service Amendments of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-
252), requires that the Carryover and Reallotment Report for one fiscal
year be submitted to HHS by the grantee before the allotment for the
next fiscal year may be awarded.
We are requesting no changes in the collection of data with the
Carryover and Reallotment Report for FY 20----, a form for the
collection of data, and the Simplified Instructions for Timely
Obligations of FY 20---- LIHEAP Funds and Reporting Funds for Carryover
and Reallotment. The form clarifies the information being requested and
ensures the submission of all the required information. The form
facilitates our response to numerous queries each year concerning the
amounts of obligated funds. Use of the form is voluntary. Grantees have
the option to use another format.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
