Federal LIHEAP block grant funds. States, the District of Columbia, and 
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are required to report statistics for 
the previous Federal fiscal year on:
     Assisted and applicant households, by type of LIHEAP 
assistance;
     Assisted and applicant households, by type of LIHEAP
