               the technical assistance publication entitled,
               LIHEAP Energy Notebook, Fiscal Year 1998.

BACKGROUND:    Through the LIHEAP Clearinghouse, the
               Administration for Children and Families (ACF)
               furnishes information and technical assistance to
               LIHEAP grantees.  As part of that mission, ACF
               funded the development of a LIHEAP Energy Notebook
               to provide LIHEAP grantees with the latest
               national and regional data on home energy
               consumption, expenditures, and burden; and low
               income home energy trends.  The Notebook also
               presents information on LIHEAP performance
               measurement.

CONTENT:       The Notebook's home energy statistics for FY 1998
               were derived from existing data sources and
               analytic procedures, including:

               o Household-level data on home energy available from the
                 national Residential Energy Consumption Surveys (RECS) and
                 household-level data on income available from the national
                 Current Population Surveys (CPS) data files.

               o State-level data on residential energy prices and
                 expenditures from the State Energy Price and Expenditure Report.

               o Other publicly available sources of data such as weather
                 data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

               o End use disaggregation procedures developed by the Energy
                 End Use and Integrated Statistics Division of the Energy
                 Information Administration in the U.S. Department of Energy.

               A copy of the Notebook is enclosed for each state
               LIHEAP office.  A copy of the Notebook's table of
               contents is enclosed for tribal/territorial LIHEAP
               grantees and other interested parties.  A limited
               number of copies of the Notebook are available
               from the Division of Energy Assistance.

               The Executive Summary of the Notebook also is
               available electronically on the LIHEAP
               Clearinghouse's web site at:
