Title: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Carryover
and Re-allotment 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 no changes in the collection of data with the
Carryover and Reallotment Report For FY 20__, a form for the collection
of data, and the Simplified Instructions for Timely Obligations of FY
20__ LIHEAP 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 voluntary. Grantees have the option
to use another format.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
