Minor changes to the form ORR–5 include the addition of the following two data elements: client email address and client phone number.

In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described above. DATES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of information and submit comments by emailing infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all requests by the title of the information collection. ADDRESSES: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: The ORR–5 is designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 412(a)(3) of INA (8 U.S.C. 1522(a)(3)) requires that the Director of ORR make a periodic assessment of the needs of refugees for assistance and services and the resources available to meet those needs.

Data elements continue to include ORR program entrance and exit dates, biographical information, referrals for services, progress made toward achieving self-sufficiency, and employment status. ORR proposes to add the following two data elements: client email address and client phone number. Adding these data points will enable ORR to obtain updated contact information for refugees who received ORR-funded services. The data collected will inform evidence-based policy making and program design. Respondents: States, Replacement Designees, and the District of Columbia.

    The list of grant recipients that were awarded these funds was 
published in a Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), which is posted to ACF's 
website at LIHEAP DCL 2023-15 Reallotment of LIHEAP Funds FFY 2022.
    Pursuant to the statute cited above, these funds were reallotted on 
Sep. 29, 2023 to all three types of FFY 2023 LIHEAP grant recipients by 
distributing them under the formula that Congress set for FFY 2023 
funding. The three types of recipients that did not receive funds were 
(1) those whose allocations would have been less than $25; (2) tribes 
or tribal organizations that agreed with their co-territorial states to 
receive set amounts for the entire fiscal year;

[[Page 84145]]

and (3) states or territories that were held to the additional minimum 
floor required by the FFY 2023 appropriations act after including the 
reallotment amount. No sub-recipients of these recipients or other 
entities may apply for these funds.
    The reallotted funds may be used for any purpose authorized under 
LIHEAP. Grant recipients must add these funds to their total LIHEAP 
funds payable for FFY 2023 for purposes of calculating statutory caps 
on administrative costs, carryover, Assurance 16 activities, and 
weatherization assistance. Grant recipients must also (1) ensure that 
these funds are included in the amounts that ACF pre-populated on Line 
1.1 of their FFY 2023 Carryover and Reallotment Reports; (2) reconcile 
these funds, to the extent that they received them, with the other 
sources described in LIHEAP DCL 2023-05 that used the grant number 
ending in ``LIEA'' on the associated Federal Financial Report; and (3) 
record, on their FFY 2023 Household Reports, households that receive 
benefits at least partly from these funds. State recipients must also 
ensure that these funds are included in the Grantee Survey sections of 
their FFY 2023 LIHEAP Performance Data Forms.
