    Title: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program LIHEAP Leveraging 
Report.
    OMB No.: 0970-0121.
    Description: The LIHEAP leveraging incentive program rewards LIHEAP 
grantees that have leveraged non-federal home energy resources for low-
income households. The LIHEAP leveraging report is the application for 
leveraging incentive funds that these LIHEAP grantees submit to the 
Department of Health and Human Services for each fiscal year in which 
they leverage countable resources. Participation in the leveraging 
incentive program is voluntary and is described at 45 CFR 96.87. The 
LIHEAP leveraging report obtains information on the resources leveraged 
by LIHEAP grantees each fiscal year (as cash, discounts, waivers, and 
in-kind); the benefits provided to low-income households by these 
resources (for example, as fuel and payments for fuel, as home heating 
and cooling equipment, and as weatherization materials and 
installation); and the fair market value of these resources/benefits.
    HHS needs this information in order to carry out statutory 
requirements for administering the LIHEAP leveraging incentive program, 
to determine countability and valuation of grantees leveraged non-
federal home energy resources, and to determine grantees shares of 
leveraging incentive funds. HHS proposes to request a three-year 
extension of OMB approval for the currently approved LIHEAP leveraging 
report information collection.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Governments.
