Administration for Children and Families


Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    Title: Application Requirements for the Low Income Home Energy 
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Model Plan.
    OMB No.: 0970-0075.
    Description: States, including the District of Columbia, tribes, 
tribal organizations, and U.S. territories applying for LIHEAP block 
grant funds must, prior to receiving federal funds, submit an annual 
application (Model Plan, ACF-122) that meets the LIHEAP statutory and 
regulatory requirements. In addition to the Model Plan, grantees are 
also required to complete the Mandatory Grant Application SF-424-
Mandatory, which is the first section of the Model Plan.
    The LIHEAP Model Plan is an electronic form and is submitted to the 
Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Community 
Services (OCS) through the On-line Data Collection (OLDC) system within 
GrantSolutions, which is currently being used by all LIHEAP grantees to 
submit other required LIHEAP reporting forms. In order to reduce the 
reporting burden, all data entries from each grantee's prior year's 
submission of the Model Plan in OLDC is saved and re-populated (cloned) 
into the form for the following fiscal year's application. OCS seeks 
renewal of this form without any changes.
    Respondents: State, the District of Columbia, U.S. Territories and 
Tribal governments.
