Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program 2015 RECS LIHEAP 
Administrative Data Matching.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) 
block grant (42 U.S.C. 8621 et seq.) was established under Title XXVI 
of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, 97. The Office of 
Community Services (OCS) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) 
administers LIHEAP at the federal level.
    The LIHEAP statute requires HHS to report to Congress annually on 
program impacts on recipient and eligible households. The primary 
program goals, as articulated in the statute, are to ensure that 
benefits are targeted to those households where the greatest program 
impacts are expected, and to assure that timely resources are available 
to households experiencing home energy crises.
    OCS is seeking authorization to collect data from all State LIHEAP 
grantees and the District of Columbia that will allow OCS to identify 
LIHEAP recipients that responded to the Residential Energy Consumption 
Survey (RECS). The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) 
conducts this survey to provide periodic national and regional data on 
residential energy use in the United States. OCS uses RECS data to 
furnish Congress and the Administration with important national and 
regional descriptive data on the energy needs of low-income households. 
Specific data elements OCS is seeking to collect are detailed below.
    State LIHEAP grantees will be asked to furnish data for LIHEAP 
recipient households that reside in areas included in the RECS sample.
    For each household, report the following:

 Name
 Address (including ZIP code)
 Household or Client ID
 Telephone Number
 Household Size
 Gross Income
 Heating assistance awarded?
 Amount of heating assistance
 Date of heating assistance
 Cooling assistance awarded?
 Amount of cooling assistance
 Date of cooling assistance
 Crisis Assistance awarded?
 Amount of crisis assistance
 Date of crisis assistance
 Other Assistance awarded?
 Amount of other assistance
 Date of other assistance
 Presence of children 5 or younger
 Presence of adult 60 or older
 Presence of disabled

    The following are additional optional data items that grantees can 
provide if the data are available in your database:

 Tenancy (i.e., own or rent)
 Type(s) of fuel used
 Heat included in rent
    This data will help ACF to analyze specific information for the 
LIHEAP recipient population, including information related to benefits 
targeting, energy usage, and energy insecurity, and it will support 
analysis of LIHEAP data for the annual Report to Congress and the 
annual LIHEAP Home Energy Notebook.
    Respondents: ACF published a Federal Register notice on December 
23, 2015 soliciting 60 days of public comment on requiring State 
grantees to provide household-level data for this effort. ACF didn't 
receive comments on this notice.

Annual Burden Estimates

    The table below shows the estimated reporting burden for the RECS 
LIHEAP administrative data matching effort. These estimates are based 
on a small number of interviews with grantees.
