ACTION: Request for Public Comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting additional comments on the request for the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to reinstate approval of the Low Income
Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Carryover and Reallotment
Report (OMB #0970-0106, discontinued June 2025), with changes. Minor
changes are proposed to break out awards into three sources and
incorporate numbering and wording updates.

collection of information between 30 and 60 days after publication of
this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, a comment is best

this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

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 be submitted
to HHS by the grant recipient before the allotment for the next fiscal
year may be awarded.
In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 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.
ACF published a Federal Register notice on June 13, 2025 (90 FR
25048) announcing a 60-day comment period to solicit public comment on
the renewal of the LIHEAP Carryover and Reallotment Report with changes
and the continuation of requiring grant recipients to engage in this
data collection annually. ACF did not receive comments on this notice.
Respondents: State governments, tribal governments, territories,
and the District of Columbia.
