Assistance, is requesting a 3-year
extension of the Household Report Form
(OMB #0970–0060, expiration 02/28/
2022). Submission of the completed

to update reporting dates and number of
respondents.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB must make a decision
about the collection of information
between 30 and 60 days after
publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment

within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Puerto Rico are required by the LowIncome Energy Assistance Act of 1981
(42 U.S.C. 8624, Sec 2610) to report
statistics for the previous federal fiscal
year (FFY) on the following:
• Assisted and applicant households,
by type of LIHEAP assistance and
funding source;
• Assisted households receiving
nominal payments of $50 or less, by
funding source;
• Assisted households receiving only
utility payment assistance, by funding
source; this information will

automatically be transferred to the grant
recipient’s Performance Data Form;
• Assisted households, regardless of
the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance or
funding source, excluding households
that only receive nominal payments of
$50 or less;
• Assisted households, by type of
LIHEAP assistance and funding source,
having at least one vulnerable member
who is at least 60 years or older,
disabled, or 5 years old or younger;
• Assisted households, by type of
LIHEAP assistance and funding source,
with at least one member age 2 years or
under;
• Assisted households, by type of
LIHEAP assistance and funding source,
with at least one member ages 3 years
through 5 years; and
• Assisted households, regardless of
the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance or
funding source, having at least one
member 60 years or older, disabled, or
5 years old or younger.
Indian tribal grant recipients are
required to submit data only on the
number of households, by funding
source, receiving heating, cooling,
energy crisis, and/or weatherization
benefits.
In FFY 2020, OCS updated the form
to allow for the reporting of households
served by separate LIHEAP funding
types and benefits provided by the
following: (1) Funds from regular
LIHEAP FFY appropriations acts,
including any Continuing Resolutions
and final appropriations acts, reallotted
prior year funds, and federal LIHEAP
funds carried-over to or expended in the
current year; (2) supplemental funds
from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (the CARES Act)
(Pub. L. 116–136); and (3) funds from
any subsequent supplemental LIHEAP
appropriations acts. ACF proposes
similar changes to the report for FFY
2022, including the addition of lines
that allow for the reporting of
households served by LIHEAP funds
from the American Rescue Plan Act of
2021 (Pub. L. 117–2). OCS has also
updated the request to reflect the
current number of expected respondents
and appropriate reporting dates.
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, U.S. territories, and
the District of Columbia.
