    OMB No.: 0970-0060.
    Description: The report is an annual activity which is required by 
law of Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) grantees for 
receipt of federal LIHEAP block grant funds. States, the District of 
Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are required to use the 
report's Long Format to provide statistics for the previous federal 
fiscal year on the number and income levels of LIHEAP applicant and 
assisted households, and the number of LIHEAP assisted households with 
at least one member who is elderly, disabled or a young child. Insular 
areas receiving less than $200,000 annually in LIHEAP funds and Indian 
Tribal Grantees are required to use the report's Short Format to 
provide statistics for the previous fiscal year only on the number of 
households receiving heating, cooling, energy crisis, or weatherization 
benefits. The information is being collected for the Department's 
annual LIHEAP report to Congress. The data also provide information 
about the need for LIHEAP funds. Finally, the data are being used in 
the calculation of LIHEAP performance measures under the Government 
Performance and Results Act of 1993.
    Respondents: State Governments, Tribal Governments and Territories.
