Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    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 (Public Law 
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 20____, for the 
collection of data previously requested by the Simplified Instructions 
for Timely Obligations of FY 20____ 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.
