Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Application Requirements for the Low Income Home Energy 
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Detailed Model Plan and the Abbreviated 
Model Plan.
    OMB No.: 0970-0075.
    Description: This information requirement is an annual activity 
which is required by law for the receipt of Federal block grant funds 
under the LIHEAP statute. By law, we must make this model plan 
available to grantees. It provides grantees an optional management tool 
that may alleviate the burden of preparing additional information to 
complete plans. The detailed model plan is to be filed only once every 
three years or sooner if major changes are made to a grantee's program. 
In the other two years, grantees would submit an abbreviated 
application which will still meet the statutory requirement for a 
complete application.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Govt.
