Abstract:
The data are needed to comply with statutory requirements and Congressional requests for data under the Human Services Amendments of 1994 (Pub. Law 103-252). The data will be included as part of the Department's annual LIHEAP report to Congress. The data are also used to measure LIHEAP targeting performance under the Government Performance Results Act of 1993. The respondents include states, direct-grant Indian tribes and tribal organizations, and insular areas which receive LIHEAP grants from the Department. The reports provide basic oversight data.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The variance in burden is due to the Department waiving most of the reporting requirements for small LIHEAP grantees, given the small grant amounts involved and the overall difficulty in obtaining reliable demographic data from small grantees. In reducing the burden on small LIHEAP grantees, all Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations and four Insular Areas will continue to be exempted from most of the reporting requirements. These grantees report only on the number of households assisted by type of LIHEAP assistance through the LIHEAP Household Report–Short Format for Assisted Households.
