Proposed Information Collection Activity: 2024 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) Data Match

摘要

The Office of Community Services (OCS) is requesting a reinstatement with changes to the collection and reporting of administrative household beneficiary data from state Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) grant recipients. The LIHEAP Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) Data Match request is completed approximately every five years, to support research and analysis of LIHEAP program impacts. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the original collection under #: 0970-0486. Through the LIHEAP RECS data match, OCS requires state grant recipients to provide household-level recipient data. This request will cover data for fiscal years 2024, and 2025, and include revisions aimed to reduce the reporting burden by approximately 30 percent compared to the last such data collection in 2021.
