Title: Collection of LIHEAP Recipient
Household Data for 2015 RECS LIHEAP
Administrative Data Matching.
OMB No.: New Collection.
For Further Information Contact:
Lauren Christopher, Director, Division
of Energy Assistance, Office of
Community Services, 330 C Street SW.,
5th Floor, Mail Room 5425 Washington,
DC 20201. Telephone (202) 401–4870;
email: lauren.christopher@acf.hhs.gov.
Description: The Office of Community
Services (OCS) is planning to require
the reporting of administrative
household data for State LIHEAP
grantees’ FY 2015 LIHEAP recipients.
The purpose of this request is to
provide data that will allow OCS to
identify LIHEAP recipients that
responded to the 2015 Residential
Energy Consumption Survey (RECS).
The U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA) conducts this
survey to provide periodic national and
regional data on residential energy use
in the United States. OCS uses RECS
data to furnish Congress and the
Administration with important national
and regional descriptive data on the
energy needs of low-income
households.

Fmt 4703

State LIHEAP grantees have provided
household-level recipient data in 2001,
2005, and 2010 for similar efforts to
identify LIHEAP recipients that
participated in the RECS for those years.
Administrative household data already
is collected by State grantees and used
to complete the annual LIHEAP
Household Report (OMB Control No.
0970–0060) and the annual LIHEAP
Performance Data Form (OMB Control
No. 0970–0449).
The LIHEAP data collected for this
effort will be used by OCS to study the
impact of LIHEAP on income eligible
and recipient households in accordance
with section 2610(b)(2) of the LIHEAP
statute. The information is being
collected for use in development of the
Department’s annual LIHEAP Report to
Congress and the annual LIHEAP Home
Energy Notebook.
State LIHEAP grantees will be asked
to furnish data for LIHEAP recipient
households that reside in areas included
in the RECS sample.
The following are the specific data
items grantees will report for each
household:
• Name
• Address (including ZIP code)
• Household or Client ID
• Telephone Number
• Household Size
• Gross Income
• Heating assistance awarded?
• Amount of heating assistance
• Date of heating assistance
• Cooling assistance awarded?
• Amount of cooling assistance
• Date of cooling assistance
• Crisis Assistance awarded?
• Amount of crisis assistance
• Date of crisis assistance
• Other Assistance awarded?
• Amount of other assistance
• Date of other assistance
• Presence of children 5 or younger
• Presence of adult 60 or older
• Presence of disabled
The following are optional data items
that grantees can provide if the data are
available in your database:
• Tenancy (i.e., own or rent)
• Type(s) of fuel used
• Heat included in rent
State LIHEAP grantees can provide
the data elements in the selected format
of their choosing.
The confidentiality of client data will
be strictly protected as part of the
Project. LIHEAP application client
waivers allow grantees to share
information with OCS and its
contractors.
Respondents: State Governments and
the District of Columbia.

As LIHEAP is a block grant, there is
varying capacity to collect and report
data among grantees. The estimated
burden hours displayed above are for
the average LIHEAP grantee. All
LIHEAP grantees have existing data
systems to collect, maintain, and
analyze this data to complete annual
reporting requirements.
In compliance with the requirements
of Section 506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the
Administration for Children and
Families is soliciting public comment
on the specific aspects of the
information collection described above.
Copies of the proposed collection of
information can be obtained and
comments may be forwarded by writing
to the Administration for Children and

Reports Clearance Officer. Email
address: infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. All
requests should be identified by the title
of the information collection.
The Department specifically requests
comments on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted
within 60 days of this publication.

Title: Native Language Preservation
and Maintenance Grant Application
Template Pilot (Funding Application
Submission Tool (F.A.S.T. form))
OMB No.:
Description: The proposed F.A.S.T.
form is intended to be used by
applicants in the Administration for
Native Americans’ Native American
Language Preservation and Maintenance
grant competition in FY 2016. The
F.A.S.T. form is proposed to be piloted
as a consolidated and streamlined preformatted electronic application form
that is user-friendly and has an
interactive interface providing structure
and clarity for applicants. The proposed
F.A.S.T. form is not intended to replace
the Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOAs) which will still
function as the full text of all funding
opportunities for which applications are
sought and considered by the
Administration for Native Americans.
The proposed F.A.S.T. form will be
used in a pilot capacity in just one
Administration for Native Americans’
discretionary program areas: Native
American Language Preservation and
Maintenance. All applicants applying
for funding in that program area will be
required to use the F.A.S.T. form during
the pilot competition proposed for FY16
unless they request and receive
approval to submit a paper application.
By using the F.A.S.T. form no applicant
will be required to provide any
information beyond what is already
required by the FOA. Additionally, free
training and technical assistance will be
available to all applicants on use of the
F.A.S.T. form.
ANA intends to use the project
proposals submitted via the F.A.S.T.
form to make funding decisions for
Native American Language Preservation
and Maintenance grant awards made in
the FY 2016 pilot year. In addition,
ANA will solicit feedback from
applicants and panel reviewers to obtain
feedback on the results, outcomes, and
their recommendations regarding the
F.A.S.T. form as a user friendly method
of applying for funding opportunities. If
the pilot is successful in making it
easier for applicants to apply, ANA will
consider potentially expanding use of
the F.A.S.T. form to all Administration
for Native Americans’ discretionary
funding areas in subsequent years.
