Proposed Information Collection Activity; LIHEAP Carryover and
Reallotment Report
AGENCY: Office of Community Services, Administration for Children and
Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for Public Comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting renewal of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
(LIHEAP) Carryover and Reallotment Report (Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) #0970-0106, expiration date April 30, 2022) with changes.
Changes include the addition of one and the removal of two sources in
pre-populated lines, the re-descriptions of annual funding sources, and
minor wording changes.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of
information and submit comments by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c5acaba3aaa6aaa9a9a0a6b1acaaab85a4a6a3ebadadb6eba2aab3"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="70191e161f131f1c1c151304191f1e301113165e1818035e171f06">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The LIHEAP statute and regulations require LIHEAP
grant recipients to report certain information to HHS concerning funds
forwarded and funds subject to reallotment. The 1994 reauthorization of
the LIHEAP statute, the Human Services Amendments of 1994 (Public Law
103-252), requires that the carryover and reallotment report for one
fiscal year be submitted to HHS by the grant recipient before the
allotment for the next fiscal year may be awarded.
We are requesting minor changes in the collection of data with the
Carryover and Reallotment Report for FY 2022, a form for the collection
of data, and the Simplified Instructions for Timely Obligations of
LIHEAP Regular Block Grant, Reallotted, and Supplemental 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 mandatory for prior-year grant recipients that seek current
current-year LIHEAP funds.
Respondents: State governments, tribal governments, insular areas,
and the District of Columbia.
