Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; 2024-2025 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) Data Match

The Office of Community Services (OCS) is requesting a reinstatement with changes for the collection and reporting of administrative household recipient 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 5 years, to support research and analysis of LIHEAP program impacts. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the original collection under #: 0970-0486. ACF published a Federal Register notice on February 13, 2026 soliciting 60 days of public comment on requiring state grant recipients to provide household-level recipient data for fiscal years (FYs) 2024 and 2025 and proposed revisions aimed to reduce the reporting burden by approximately 30 percent compared to the last such data collection in 2021. ACF received one comment in response to that notice.
