Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Grantee 
Survey.
    OMB No.: 0970-0076.
    Description: The LIHEAP Grantee Survey is an annual data collection 
activity, which is sent to grantees of the 50 states and the District 
of Columbia administering the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program 
(LIHEAP). The survey is mandatory in order that national estimates of 
the sources and uses of LIHEAP funds can be calculated in a timely 
manner; a range can be calculated of State average LIHEAP benefits; and 
maximum income cutoffs for four-person households can be obtained for 
estimating the number of low-income households that are income eligible 
for LIHEAP under the State income standards.
    The need for the above information is to provide the Administration 
and Congress with fiscal estimates in time for hearings about LIHEAP 
appropriations and program performance. The information also is 
included in the Department's annual LIHEAP Report to Congress. Survey 
information also will be posted on the Office of Community Services' 
LIHEAP website for access by grantees and other interested parties.
    Respondents: 50 States and the District of Columbia.
