Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects:
Title: ACF Grantee Survey of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP).
OMB No.: 0970-0076.
Description: The LIHEAP Grantee Survey is an annual data collection
activity, which is sent to grantees of the 50 states and the District
of Columbia administering the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
(LIHEAP). The survey is mandatory in order that national estimates of
the sources and uses of LIHEAP funds can be calculated in a timely
manner; a range can be calculated of State average LIHEAP benefits; and
maximum income cutoffs for four-person households can be obtained for
estimating the number of low-income households that are income eligible
for LIHEAP under the State income standards. The need for the above
information is to provide the Administration and Congress with fiscal
estimates in time for hearings about LIHEAP appropriations and program
performance. The information also is included in the Departments annual
LIHEAP Report to Congress. Survey information also will be posted on
the Office of Community Services LIHEAP Web site for access by grantees
and other interested parties.
Respondents: 50 States and the District of Columbia.
