2. The burden reduction targeting
index for high burden households
receiving LIHEAP fuel assistance;
3. The number of households where
LIHEAP prevented a potential home

is available at: https://

reporting requirements will be
described through OLDC.
The previous OMB-approved LIHEAP
Grantee Survey on sources and uses of
LIHEAP funds was added in 2014 to the
LPDF as an addition to the LIHEAP
performance data. No substantive
changes are being proposed for this data
collection activity. A sample of the draft
form is available for viewing here:
https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ocs/resource/
funding-applications.
The form is divided into the following
three modules to add clarity:
Module 1. LIHEAP Grantee Survey
(Required Reporting)
Module 1 of the LPDF will continue
to require the following data from each
state for the federal fiscal year:
• Grantee information,
• sources and uses of LIHEAP funds,
• average LIHEAP household
benefits, and
• maximum income cutoffs for 4person households for each type of
LIHEAP assistance provided by each
grantee for the fiscal year.
Module 2. LIHEAP Performance
Measures (Required Reporting)
Module 2 of the LPDF will continue
to require the following data from each
state for the federal fiscal year:
• Grantee information,
• energy burden targeting,
• restoration of home energy service,
and
• prevention of loss of home energy.
Module 3. LIHEAP Performance
Measures (Optional Reporting)
Module 3 of the LIHEAP LPDF will
continue to voluntarily collect the
following additional information from
each interested grantee for the federal
fiscal year:
• Average annual energy usage,
• Unduplicated number of
households using supplemental heating
fuel and air conditioning,
