Title: Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Carryover
and Reallotment Report.
OMB No.: 0970–0106.
Description: The LIHEAP statute and
regulations require LIHEAP grantees to
report certain information to HHS
concerning funds forwarded and funds
subject to reallotment. The 1994
reauthorization of the LIHEAP statute,
the Human Service Amendments of
1994 (Public Law 103–252), requires
that the Carryover and Reallotment
Report for one fiscal year be submitted
to HHS by the grantee before the
allotment for the next fiscal year may be
awarded. The Administration for
Children and Families is requesting no
changes in the collection of data with
the Carryover and Reallotment Report
for FY 20_, a form for the collection of
data, and the Simplified Instructions for
Timely Obligations of FY_ LIHEAP
Funds and Reporting Funds for
Carryover and Reallotment. The form
clarifies the information being requested
and ensures the submission of all the
required information. The form
facilitates our response to numerous
queries each year concerning the
amounts of obligated funds. Use of the
form is voluntary. Grantees have the
option to use another format.
Respondents: State Governments,
Tribal Governments, Insular Areas, the
District of Columbia, and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

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
allowable expenses in the
administration of the Refugee
Resettlement Program. ORR needs
sound State estimates of likely
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
expenditures for refugee cash, medical,
and administration (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 State 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
412(a)(4) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act, which provides that
‘‘no grant or contract may be awarded
under this section unless an appropriate
proposal and application * * * are
