Title: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Leveraging Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0121.
Description: The LIHEAP leveraging incentive program rewards LIHEAP
grantees that have leveraged non-federal home energy resources for low-
income households. The LIHEAP leveraging report is the application for
leveraging incentive funds that LIHEAP grantees submit to the
Department of Health and Human Services for each fiscal year in which
they leverage countable resources. Participation in the leveraging
incentive program is voluntary and is described at 45 CFR 96.87.
The LIHEAP leveraging report obtains information on the resources
leveraged by LIHEAP grantees each fiscal year (as cash, discounts,
waiver, and in-kind); the benefits provided by low-income households by
these resources (for example, as fuel and payments for fuel, as home
heating and cooling equipment, and as weatherization materials and
installation); and the fair market value of these resources/benefits.
HHS needs this information in order to carry out statutory requirements
for administering the LIHEAP leveraging incentive program, to determine
countability and valuation of grantees' leveraged non-federal home
energy resources, and to determine grantees' shares of leveraging
incentive funds.
Respondents: State Governments, Tribal Governments, Insular Areas,
the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
