TO: LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LIHEAP)
STATE GRANTEES
SUBJECT: Estimates of Quarterly Obligations for the FY 2001
Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
RELATED Low Income Home Energy Assistance Act, Title XXVI
REFERENCES: of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981,
Public Law 97-35, as amended; P.L. 90-577
(Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968); Form
ACF-535 (OMB Clearance Number 0970-0037, approved
for use through November 2001)
PURPOSE: To collect from LIHEAP state grantees estimates of
their quarterly obligations under the FY 2001 LIHEAP
Program. DUE DATE - September 1, 2000
CONTENT: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved
the collection of certain data to be used by the
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for
the LIHEAP Program. The data to be collected are
grantees'estimates of obligations they will make
each quarter under the FY 2001 program. Your
participation in the data collection is voluntary.
However, if you wish to receive more than 25% of
your grant in each quarter, you must submit this
information. If the information is not received,
grant awards will be made in the amount of 25
percent of the grantee's allocation in four
quarterly grant awards for FY 2001. Once the
quarterly allocations are set, our ability to
change them is constrained by our OMB
apportionment. The data must be received by
September 1 in order to be used in our
apportionment request to OMB.
The information collected is used to substantiate
budget requests for low-income energy assistance
payments and to make awards based on each state's
needs. However, as you know, the availability of
funding is dependent on Congressional action to
provide funding via an appropriation or continuing
resolution and the apportionment of funds by OMB.
We are providing a form (see attached) that you may
use to provide us with the estimates of your quarterly
obligations. This form will enable the Administration
for Children and Families to target your needs for
FY 2001 funding authority.
If you plan to carry over funds from your FY 2000
program to begin your program in October, please make
sure that your quarterly estimates take this into
account. In addition, any grantee that will require
FY 2001 funds prior to October 20 should advise us of
that fact in its response.
This form is due September 1, 2000.
