Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Application Requirements or the Low Income Home Energy 
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Detailed Model Plan (submitted every 3 
years. Abbreviated applications to be submitted in intervening years.)
    OMB No.: 0970-0075.
    Description: This information requirement is an annual activity 
which is required by law for the receipt of federal block grant funds 
under the LIHEAP statute. By law, we must make this model plan 
available to grantees. It provides grantees an optional management tool 
that may alleviate the burden of preparing additional information to 
complete plans. The detailed mode plan is to be filed only once every 
three years or sooner if major changes are made to grantee's program. 
We are also seeking approval for a streamlined application to be used 
in alternate years.
    Respondents: State, Territories and Tribal Govts.
