Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program LIHEAP Leveraging
Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0121.
Description: The LIHEAP leveraging incentive program rewards LIHEAP
grantees that have leveraged non-federal home energy resources for low-
income households. The LIHEAP leveraging report is the application for
leveraging incentive funds that these LIHEAP grantees submit to the
Department of Health and Human Services for each fiscal year in which
they leverage countable resources. Participation in the leveraging
incentive program is voluntary and is described at 45 CFR 96.87. The
LIHEAP leveraging report obtains information on the resources leveraged
by LIHEAP grantees each fiscal year (as cash, discounts, waivers, and
in-kind); the benefits provided to low-income households by these
resources (for example, as fuel and payments for fuel, as home heating
and cooling equipment, and as weatherization materials and
installation); and the fair market value of these resources/benefits.
HHS needs this information in order to carry out statutory
requirements for administering the LIHEAP leveraging incentive program,
to determine countability and valuation of grantees leveraged non-
federal home energy resources, and to determine grantees shares of
leveraging incentive funds. HHS proposes to request a three-year
extension of OMB approval for the currently approved LIHEAP leveraging
report information collection.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Governments.
