SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Teacher Education
Assistance for College and Higher
Education Grant Eligibility Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 1845–0084.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households, Private
Sector, State, Local or Tribal
Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 251,452.

Abstract: The Teacher Education
Assistance for College and Higher
Education (TEACH) Grant program is a
non-need-based grant program that
provides up to $4,000 per year to
students who are enrolled in an eligible
program and who agree to teach in a
high-need field, at a low-income
elementary or secondary school for at
least four years within eight years of
completing the program for which the

Teach Grant was awarded. The TEACH
Grant program regulations are required
to ensure accountability of the program
participants, both institutions and
student recipients, for proper program
administration, to determine eligibility
to receive program benefits and to
prevent fraud and abuse of program
funds. The regulations include both
record-keeping and reporting
requirements. The record-keeping by the
school allows for review of compliance
with the regulation during on-site
institutional reviews. The Department
uses the required reporting to allow for
close-out of institutions that are no
longer participating or who lose
eligibility to participate in the program.
