Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting Requirements Under Emergency
Review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Title: LIHEAP Program Integrity Assessment and Plan.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: Under prior guidance, the Chief Executive Officer in
States, Tribes or Territories is required to certify in the LIHEAP
State Plan that the grantee will uphold all rules, regulations, and
policies associated with the LIHEAP program. As cited above, grantees
must have in place policies that address waste, fraud and abuse.
Presidential Executive Order 13520, reducing Improper Payments and
Eliminating Waste in Federal Programs, issued in November 2009,
encourages Federal agencies to take deliberate and immediate action to
eliminate fraud and improper payments. As part of the review of
programs subsequent to this executive order, HHS has determined that
additional information from each administering agency is necessary to
assess grantee measures that are in place to prevent, detect or address
waste, fraud and abuse in LIHEAP programs.
The Administration for Children and Families is requesting the
Office of Management and Budget to authorize emergency processing of
its information collection clearance of the LIHEAP Program Integrity
Assessment and Plan in order for submission by grantees with their
applications for fiscal year 2011 funding.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Governments.
