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, a form for the collection of data, and the Simplified 
Instructions for Timely Obligations of 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.
