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
Web site for access by grantees and
other interested parties.
Respondents: 50 states and the
District of Columbia.

Title: Refugee Resettlement Program
Estimates: CMA, ORR–1.
OMB No. 0970–0030.
Description: The Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR) reimburses, to the
extent of available appropriations,
certain non-Federal costs for the
provision of cash and medical
assistance to refugees, along with
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
allowable expenses in the
administration of the Refugee
Resettlement Program. ORR needs
sound State estimates of likely
expenditures for refugee cash, medical,
and administrative (CMA) expenditures
so that it can anticipate Federal costs in
upcoming quarters. If Federal costs are
anticipated to exceed budget
allocations, ORR must take steps to
reduce Federal expenses, such as
limiting the number of months of
eligibility for Refugee Cash Assistance
and Refugee Medical Assistance.
To meet the need for reliable State
estimates of anticipated expenses, ORR
has developed a single-page form in
which States estimate the average
number of recipients for each category
of assistance, the average unit cost over
the next 12 months, and the expense for
the overall administration of the
program. This form, the ORR–1, must be
submitted prior to the beginning of each
Federal fiscal year. Without this
information, ORR would be out of
compliance with the intent of its
legislation and otherwise unable to
estimate program costs adequately.
In addition, the ORR–1 serves as the
State’s application for reimbursement of
its CMA expenses. Submission of this
form is thus required by section
