Title: Application Requirements for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Detailed Model Plan To Be Submitted Every 3 Years, Abbreviated Application To Be Submitted
Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 05/08/1997
	Date Received in OIRA: 03/07/1997
Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved through 11/98 on the following conditions: (1) ACF work to develop a system that allows for live data access to grantee plans, as discussed in ACF's memorandum of 5/1/97 and in response to a comment received during the public comment process; and (2) ACF revise the change in certifications included in the OMB submission. While the suggested change would ease reporting burdens on respondents, such changes are not allowable under current statutes. Drug-Free Workplace certifications must be submitted annually and both the lobbying and debarment and suspension must be filed with each transaction/award. In addition, this collection expired 5/96 but ACF continued to collect applications from both Tribes and States in September and October of 1996, respectively. Thus, the expiration of this collection is a violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and will be cited in the Information Collection Budget annual report.
