SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
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 included as the
first section of the Model Plan.
The LIHEAP Model Plan is an
electronic form and is submitted to
OCS/ACF 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 are saved and re-
populated into the form for the
following fiscal year’s application.
Respondents: States, the District of
Columbia, U.S. territories, and tribal
governments.
