Title: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Grantee
Survey.
OMB No.: 0970-0076.
Description: The LIHEAP Grantee Survey is an annual data collection
activity, which is sent to grantees of the 50 states and the District
of Columbia administering the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
(LIHEAP). The survey is mandatory in order that national estimates of
the sources and uses of LIHEAP funds can be calculated in a timely
manner; a range can be calculated of State average LIHEAP benefits; and
maximum income cutoffs for four-person households can be obtained for
estimating the number of low-income households that are income eligible
for LIHEAP under the State income standards.
The need for the above information is to provide the Administration
and Congress with fiscal estimates in time for hearings about LIHEAP
appropriations and program performance. The information also is
included in the Department's annual LIHEAP Report to Congress. Survey
information also will be posted on the Office of Community Services'
LIHEAP website for access by grantees and other interested parties.
Respondents: 50 States and the District of Columbia.
