SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The proposed LIHEAP Quarterly Performance and
Management Report will provide OCS information necessary to oversee
recipients' performance in administering historic levels of LIHEAP
funding and reaching the most vulnerable households. The report
solicits data on total households assisted (and the total households
assisted during the same quarter of the previous FY for comparison);
the number of occurrences that LIHEAP prevented the loss of home
energy/the number of occurrences that LIHEAP restored home energy;
estimated use of LIHEAP funds by LIHEAP funding source; LIHEAP
information (e.g., training and technical assistance needs, changes to
program policies, collaboration with other federal utility assistance
programs, etc.); and any explanation needed regarding the reliability
and/or validity of the responses in prior sections. The quarterly
report is not an abbreviated version of the LIHEAP Annual Report or
[[Page 33797]]
Performance Data Form, it is a different form that was designed to
focus on how states are leveraging LIHEAP to mitigate rising energy
costs this winter and to track the spend down of LIHEAP supplemental
funding. The currently approved versions of the LIHEAP Quarterly
Performance and Management Reports can be found here <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202202-0970-003">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202202-0970-003</a>. This
extension request includes minor revisions to the instructions
regarding submission details and reporting deadlines in future fiscal
years.
Respondents: LIHEAP grant recipients.
