Title: LIHEAP Quarterly Allocation Estimates.
OMB No.: 0970-0037.
Description: The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Quarterly Allocation Estimates Form-535 is a one-page form that is sent
to 50 State grantees and the District of Columbia. It is also sent to
Tribal grantees that receive over $1 million annually and who directly
administer the LIHEAP Program. Grantees are asked to complete and
submit the form in the 4th quarter of each fiscal year. The data
collected on the form are the grantee's estimates of obligations that
they expect to make each quarter during the upcoming fiscal year. This
is the only method used to request anticipated distribution of the
grantee's LIHEAP funds for the program year. The information is used to
disburse LIHEAP funds in accordance with grantee needs and to develop
OMB apportionment requests.
Respondents: State, local or tribal govt.
