    Title: Application Requirements for the Low Income Home Energy 
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Model Plan.

District of Columbia, Tribes, tribal organizations and territories 
applying for LIHEAP block grant funds must submit an annual application

103-252), requires that an annual application be submitted. A detailed 
application must be submitted every 3 years. Abbreviated applications 
may be submitted in alternate years. There have been minor changes in 
the Model Plan for clarity. There have been no substantive changes.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Governments.
