DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
[OMB #0970-0106]
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program Carryover and Reallotment Report
AGENCY: Office of Community Services, Administration for Children and
Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting from Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a reinstatement
of approval with changes to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP) Carryover and Reallotment Report (OMB #0970-0106,
discontinued June 2025). Minor changes are proposed to break out awards
into three sources and incorporate numbering and wording updates.
DATES: Comments due August 12, 2025. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 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#b6dfd8d0d9d5d9dadad3d5c2dfd9d8f6d7d5d098dedec598d1d9c0"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="7d14131b121e121111181e091412133d1c1e1b5315150e531a120b">[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 the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (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 Carryover and Reallotment Report for one fiscal year (FY) be
submitted to HHS by the grant recipient before the allotment for the
next FY may be awarded.
In compliance with PRA, ACF discontinued the OMB number in June
2025, prior to the expiration date, to allow for public comment on the
extension and revision request prior to OMB review.
ACF is requesting minor changes in the program's Carryover and
Reallotment Report, a form for the collection of data, and the
Instructions for Timely Obligation 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-year LIHEAP funds except for (1)
territorial grant recipients that consolidate their LIHEAP programs
with the Social Services Block Grant under Public Law 95-134; and (2)
tribal grant recipients that have integrated their LIHEAP programs
under Public Law 102-477 for administration through the Bureau of
Indian Affairs and that draw down funds solely during the integration
period.
Respondents: State governments, tribal governments, territories,
and the District of Columbia.
