(OMB #0970–0060, expiration 02/28/ 

2022). Submission of the completed

proposes minor changes related to 

reporting of supplemental funding and 

to update reporting dates and number of 

respondents.

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. One can find this particular

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description: States, the District of 

Columbia, and the Commonwealth of 

Puerto Rico are required by the LowIncome Energy Assistance Act of 1981 

(42 U.S.C. 8624, Sec 2610) to report 

statistics for the previous federal fiscal 

year (FFY) on the following: 

• Assisted and applicant households, 

by type of LIHEAP assistance and 

funding source; 

• Assisted households receiving 

nominal payments of $50 or less, by 

funding source; 

• Assisted households receiving only 

utility payment assistance, by funding 

source; this information will

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 39 / Monday, February 28, 2022 / Notices 11077 

automatically be transferred to the grant 

recipient’s Performance Data Form; 

• Assisted households, regardless of 

the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance or 

funding source, excluding households 

that only receive nominal payments of 

$50 or less; 

• Assisted households, by type of 

LIHEAP assistance and funding source, 

having at least one vulnerable member 

who is at least 60 years or older, 

disabled, or 5 years old or younger; 

• Assisted households, by type of 

LIHEAP assistance and funding source, 

with at least one member age 2 years or 

under; 

• Assisted households, by type of 

LIHEAP assistance and funding source, 

with at least one member ages 3 years 

through 5 years; and 

• Assisted households, regardless of 

the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance or 

funding source, having at least one 

member 60 years or older, disabled, or 

5 years old or younger. 

Indian tribal grant recipients are 

required to submit data only on the 

number of households, by funding 

source, receiving heating, cooling, 

energy crisis, and/or weatherization 

benefits. 

In FFY 2020, OCS updated the form 

to allow for the reporting of households 

served by separate LIHEAP funding 

types and benefits provided by the 

following: (1) Funds from regular 

LIHEAP FFY appropriations acts, 

including any Continuing Resolutions 

and final appropriations acts, reallotted 

prior year funds, and federal LIHEAP 

funds carried-over to or expended in the 

current year; (2) supplemental funds 

from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and 

Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) 

(Pub. L. 116–136); and (3) funds from 

any subsequent supplemental LIHEAP 

appropriations acts. ACF proposes 

similar changes to the report for FFY 

2022, including the addition of lines 

that allow for the reporting of 

households served by LIHEAP funds 

from the American Rescue Plan Act of 

2021 (Pub. L. 117–2). OCS has also 

updated the request to reflect the 

current number of expected respondents 

and appropriate reporting dates. 

The information is being collected for 

the Department’s annual LIHEAP Report 

to Congress. The data also provides 

information about the need for LIHEAP 

funds. Finally, the data are used in the 

calculation of LIHEAP performance 

measures under the Government 

Performance and Results Act of 1993. 

The data elements will allow the 

accuracy of measuring LIHEAP targeting 

performance and LIHEAP cost 

efficiency. 

Respondents: State governments, 

tribal governments, U.S. territories, and 

the District of Columbia.
