Title: Low Income Home Energy

Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Carryover

and Reallotment Report.

OMB No.: 0970–0106.

Description: The LIHEAP statute and

regulations require LIHEAP grantees to

report certain information to 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

grantee before the Allotment for the next

fiscal year may be awarded.

We are requesting changes in the

collection of data by adding a form, the

Carryover and Reallotment Report For

FY 20ll, for the collection of data

previously requested by the Simplified

Instructions for Timely Obligations of

FY 20ll LIHEAP Funds and Reporting

Funds for Carryover and Reallotment.

The addition of the form will clarify the

information being requested and ensure

the submission of all the required

information. Use of the form will be

voluntary. It is being added in response

to numerous queries each year

concerning how to provide information.

It will not add any additional burden on

grantees. Grantees would have the

option to use another format.

Respondents: State, Local or Tribal

Govt.
