Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Title: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Carryover
and Reallotment Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0106.
Description: The LIHEAP statute and regulations require LIHEAP
grantees to report certain information to HHS concerning funds
forwarded and funds subject to reallotment. The 1994 reauthorization of
the LIHEAP statute, the Human Service Amendments of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-
252), requires that the
[[Page 24494]]
Carryover and Reallotment Report for one fiscal year be submitted to
HHS by the grantee before the allotment for the next fiscal year may be
awarded. The Administration for Children and Families is requesting no
changes in the collection of data with the Carryover and Reallotment
Report, a form for the collection of data, and the Simplified
Instructions for Timely Obligations of LIHEAP Funds and Reporting Funds
for Carryover and Reallotment. The form clarifies the information being
requested and ensures the submission of all the required information.
The form facilitates our response to numerous queries each year
concerning the amounts of obligated funds. Use of the form is
voluntary. Grantees have the option to use another format.
