corrective action plans contain an
expected correction completion date,
consistent with CMS requirements.
• Section 488.18(a), to ensure all

hospitals that request participation in
the Medicare program, effective August

Proposed Projects: LIHEAP
Household Report FRN1 Clearance.
Title: Annual Report on Households

Energy Assistance (LIHEAP).
OMB No.: 0970–0060.
Description: This report is an annual
activity required by statute (42 U.S.C.
8629) and Federal regulations (45 CFR
96.92) for the Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
Submission of the completed report is
one requirement for LIHEAP grantees
applying for Federal LIHEAP block
grant funds.
States, the District of Columbia, and
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are
required to report statistics for the
previous Federal fiscal year on:
• Assisted and applicant households,
by type of LIHEAP assistance;
• Assisted and applicant households,
by type of LIHEAP assistance and
poverty level;
• Assisted households receiving
nominal payments of $50 or less;
• Assisted households receiving only
utility payment assistance; this
information will automatically be
transferred to the grantee’s Performance
Data Form.
• Assisted households, regardless of
the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance,
excluding households that only receive
nominal payments of $50 or less;
• Assisted households, by type of
LIHEAP assistance, having at least one
vulnerable member who is at least 60
years or older, disabled, or five years old
or younger;
• Assisted households, by type of
LIHEAP assistance, with at least one
member age 2 years or under;
• Assisted households, by type of
LIHEAP assistance, with at least one
member ages 3 years through 5 years;
and
• Assisted households, regardless of
the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance, having
at least one member 60 years or older,

Insular areas (other than the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) and

submit data only on the number of
households receiving heating, cooling,
energy crisis, and/or weatherization
benefits.
The information is being collected for
the Department’s annual LIHEAP Report
to Congress. The data also provides
information about the need for LIHEAP
funds. Finally, the data are used in the
calculation of LIHEAP performance
measures under the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993.
The data elements will allow the
accuracy of measuring LIHEAP targeting
performance and LIHEAP cost
efficiency.
Respondents: State Governments,
Tribal Governments, Insular Areas, and
the District of Columbia.

Proposed Projects: LIHEAP Carryover
and Reallotment Report FRN1
Clearance.
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 (Pub. L. 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.
We are requesting no changes in the
collection of data with the Carryover
and Reallotment Report for FY 2018, a
form for the collection of data, and the
Simplified Instructions for Timely
Obligations of FY 2019 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, Local or Tribal
Government.
