    Title: LIHEAP Quarterly Allocation Estimates Form ACF-535.
    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 to the District of Columbia. It is also sent 
to Tribal Government grantees that receive over $1 million annually for 
LIHEAP. Grantees are asked to complete and submit the form in the 4th 
quarter of each fiscal year. The data collected on the form are 
grantees' estimates of obligations they expect to make each quarter of 
the upcoming fiscal year for the LIHEAP program. This is the only 
method used to request anticipated distributions of the grantee's 
LIHEAP funds. The information is used to develop apportionment requests 
to OMB and to make grant awards based on grantee anticipated needs. 
Information collected on this form is not available through any other 
Federal source. Submission of the form is voluntary.
    Respondents: 50 States, the District of Columbia and those Tribal 
governments that receive over $1 million annually.
