THIS CONTAINS INFORMATION ISSUED BY THE U.S. ADMINISTRATION FOR
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN LIHEAP INFORMATION MEMORANDUM TRANSMITTAL
NO. LIHEAP-IM-2007-5, DATED 7/6/07
                              

TO:            LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LIHEAP) 
               GRANTEES AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES

SUBJECT:       Termination of LIHEAP Mailings

RELATED
REFERENCES:    The Revised Continuing Appropriations Resolution,
               2007 (Public Law 110-5); the Low-Income Home
               Energy Assistance Act, Title XXVI of the Omnibus
               Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 (Public Law 97-
               35), as amended.

PURPOSE:       To advise grantees that the Division of Energy 
               Assistance will no longer mail out Action
               Transmittals (ATs) and Information Memoranda (IMs)
               on a regular basis, and that all information
               dissemination to LIHEAP grantees will occur on the
               LIHEAP web site.

CONTENT:       The issuance of LIHEAP ATs and IMs has always
               been the primary mode in which the Division of
               Energy Assistance has communicated deadlines and
               other important information about the LIHEAP
               program to its grantees.  While we will continue
               to issue IMs and ATs, we will no longer mail out
               hard copies of these transmittals beginning in FY
               2008.

               For some time, we have posted our IMs and ATs to 
               the LIHEAP web site and will continue to do so.  
               Grantees are strongly encouraged to regularly 
               check the LIHEAP web site for new guidance, and 
               to download IMs, ATs and any attachments that 
               they wish to have copies.  This is particularly 
               important with respect to annual grantee 
               submissions, such as the carryover report,
               grantee survey, and household report, in which 
               due dates are specified.

               The LIHEAP web site address is printed at the 
               top of this IM.
