The data are needed to comply with
statutory requirements and Congressional requests for data under
the Human Services Amendments of 1994 (Pub. Law 103-252). The data
will be included as part of the Department's annual LIHEAP report
to Congress. The data are also used to measure LIHEAP targeting
performance under the Government Performance Results Act of 1993.
The respondents include states, direct-grant Indian tribes and
tribal organizations, and insular areas which receive LIHEAP grants
from the Department. The reports provide basic oversight
data.
US Code:

USC 8624 Name of Law: Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1981
The variance in burden is due
to the Department waiving most of the reporting requirements for
small LIHEAP grantees, given the small grant amounts involved and
the overall difficulty in obtaining reliable demographic data from
small grantees. In reducing the burden on small LIHEAP grantees,
all Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations and four Insular Areas
will continue to be exempted from most of the reporting
requirements. These grantees report only on the number of
households assisted by type of LIHEAP assistance through the LIHEAP
Household ReportShort Format for Assisted Households.
