Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program Performance
Measures.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description
The Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) block
grant (42 U.S.C. 8621 et seq.) was
established under Title XXVI of the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1981, Public Law 97–35. The Office of
Community Services (OCS) within the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF)
administers LIHEAP at the federal level.
The LIHEAP statute requires HHS to
develop performance measures and
report to Congress annually on program
impacts on recipient and eligible
households. The primary program goals,
as articulated in the statute, are to
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
ensure that benefits are targeted to those
households where the greatest program
impacts are expected, and to assure that
timely resources are available to
households experiencing home energy
crises.
OCS is seeking authorization to
collect data from all state grantees and
the District of Columbia that will
establish performance indicators of the
impact of LIHEAP services on its
recipients. Specific data elements OCS
is seeking to collect are detailed below.
Broken down by main heating fuel
type, report for all households receiving
any type of LIHEAP-funded energy bill
assistance and for all high energy
burden households receiving any type
of LIHEAP-funded energy bill assistance
(‘‘high energy burden households’’ is
defined as the top 25% of all bill
assistance households sorted by energy
burden for that state):
• Total number of unduplicated
households receiving LIHEAP-funded
energy bill assistance. Note that the total
number of unduplicated households
served with LIHEAP funds is a current
reporting requirement for the LIHEAP
Household Report—Long Form. This
new requirement is in addition to that
requirement and is a slight variation in
that grantees will be asked to exclude
households receiving only LIHEAP
services that are not related to payment
of energy bills (such as weatherization
assistance or heating/cooling equipment
repairs/replacements).
• Average household income.
