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 (Pub. L. 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.
    The Administration for Children and Families is requesting no 
changes in the collection of data with the Carryover and Reallotment 
Report for FY 2007, a form for the collection of data, and the 
Simplified Instructions for Timely Obligations of FY 2007 LIHEAP Funds 
and Reporting Funds for Carryover and Reallotment. The form clarifies 
the information being requested and ensures the submission of all the 
required information. The form facilitates our response to numerous 
queries each year concerning the amounts of obligated funds. Use of the 
form is voluntary. Grantees have the option to use another format.
    Respondents: State Governments, Tribal Governments, Insular Areas, 
the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
