Title: Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Leveraging Report.
OMB No.: 0970–0121.
Description: The LIHEAP leveraging
incentive program rewards LIHEAP
grantees that have leveraged non-federal
home energy resources for low-income
households. The LIHEAP leveraging
report is the application for leveraging
incentive funds that these LIHEAP
grantees submit to the Department of
Health and Human Services for each
fiscal year in which they leverage
countable resources. Participation in the
leveraging incentive program is
voluntary and is described at 45 CFR
96.87.
The LIHEAP leveraging report obtains
information on the resources by LIHEAP
grantees each fiscal year (as cash,
discounts, waivers, and in-kind); the
benefits provided to low-income
households by these resources (for
example, as fuel and payments for fuel,
as home heating and cooling equipment,
and as weatherization materials and
installation); and the fair market value
of these resources/benefits. HHS needs
this information in order to carry out
statutory requirements for administering
the LIHEAP leveraging incentive
program, to determine countability and
valuation of grantees’ leveraged nonfederal home energy resources, and to
determine grantees’ shares of leveraging
incentive funds. HHS proposed to
request a three-year extension of OMB
approval for the currently approved
LIHEAP leveraging report information
collection.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal
Governments.

Title: Tribal Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF) Program Data
Reporting Instructions and
Requirements
OMB No.: 0970—0215.
Description: 42 U.S.C. 612 (Section
412 of the Social Security Act as
amended by Pub. L. 104–193, the
Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
(PRWORA)) mandates that Federally
recognized Indian Tribes with an
approved Tribal TANF program collect
and submit o the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services data on the recipients served
by the Tribes’ programs. This
information includes both aggregated
and disaggregated data on case
characteristics and individual
characteristics. In addition, Tribes that
are subject to a penalty are allowed to
provide reasonable cause justifications
as to why a penalty should not be
imposed or may develop and implement
corrective compliance procedures to
eliminate the source of the penalty.
Finally, there is an annual report, which
requires the Tribes to describe program
characteristics. All of the above
requirements are currently approved by
OMB and the Administration for
Children and Families is simply
proposing to extend them without any
changes.
Respondents: Indian Tribes.
