SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires
that the Director of OMB provide
interested Federal agencies and the
public an early opportunity to comment
on information collection requests. The
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) may amend or waive the
requirement for public consultation to
the extent that public participation in
the approval process would defeat the
purpose of the information collection,
violate State or Federal law, or
substantially interfere with any agency’s
ability to perform its statutory
obligations. The IC Clearance Official,
Regulatory Information Management
Services, Office of Management,
publishes this notice containing
proposed information collection
requests at the beginning of the
Departmental review of the information
collection. Each proposed information
collection, grouped by office, contains
the following: (1) Type of review
requested, e.g., new, revision, extension,
existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3)
Summary of the collection; (4)
Description of the need for, and
proposed use of, the information; (5)
Respondents and frequency of
collection; and (6) Reporting and/or
Recordkeeping burden. ED invites
public comment.
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 respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.

TEACH Grant. By signing the
Agreement to Serve, the student
promises to meet the teaching service
requirements of the TEACH Grant
program as described in the Agreement,
and to repay with interest the full
amount of any TEACH Grant as a Direct
Unsubsidized Loan if the student does
not complete the required teaching
service or otherwise fails to meet the
requirements of the TEACH Grant
Program.
Additional Information: The U.S.
Department of Education requests that
OMB grant an emergency clearance of
the Agreement to Serve to be used in the
TEACH Grant Program. Section 420N(b)
of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended, requires an applicant for a
TEACH Grant to complete an Agreement
to Serve before receiving a TEACH
Grant. The TEACH Grant Program was
established under the HEA by the
College Cost Reduction and Access Act
of 1007 (the CCRAA). In accordance
with section 4200 of the CCRAA, the
effective date for the TEACH Grant
Program is July 1, 2008. The Department
is requesting an emergency clearance
because the regular clearance process
would not enable us to make an OMBapproved Agreement to Serve available
to TEACH Grant applicants by the
statutory effective date for the TEACH
Grant Program. The Department
requests emergency clearance of the
Agreement to Serve by May 14, 2008, to
ensure that systems work and testing
necessary to implement the electronic
Agreement to Serve can be completed
by July 1, 2008. Upon receiving
emergency clearance of the Agreement
to Serve, the Department will submit the
Agreement to Serve for the regular
information clearance process,
including notice of a 60-day public
comment period.
Frequency: On occasion.
Affected Public: Individuals or
household.
