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 Government. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 251,452. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 40,309. 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.

SUMMARY: On December 18, 2014, we published a notice in the Federal Register (79 FR 75722) inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2015 for the SSS Program. The U.S. Department of Education (Department) is providing corrections to the point allocation information for Competitive Preference Priority (CPP) 1(a)—Influencing the Development of Non-Cognitive Factors; CPP 1(b)— VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Jan 26, 2015 Jkt 235001 Strategies to Influence the Development of Non-Cognitive Factors Supported by Moderate Evidence of Effectiveness; and CPP 2(a)—Providing Individualized Counseling for Personal, Career, and Academic Matters. In addition, the Department is providing updated links to two studies associated with the CPPs. DATES: Applications Available: December 18, 2014. Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: February 2, 2015. Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: April 2, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 18, 2014, we published a notice in the Federal Register (79 FR 75722) inviting applications for new awards for FY 2015 for the SSS Program. It has come to the Department’s attention that information regarding the point allocation for CPPs 1(a), 1(b), and 2(a) is inaccurate. The December 18, 2014 notice inviting applications incorrectly states that ‘‘up to’’ one additional point is available for each of CPPs 1(a) and 2(a) and ‘‘up to’’ two additional points are available for CPP 1(b). Through this notice, the Department is providing a correction to CPPs 1(a), 1(b), and 2(a) by deleting the phrase ‘‘up to’’ from the point allocations for each of these CPPs. Under this competition, applicants will be able to earn one additional point for CPP 1(a) and two additional points for CPP 1(b). Additionally, under this competition, applicants will be able to earn one additional point for CPP 2(a) and two additional points for CPP 2(b). No partial points will be awarded for addressing any portion of the CPPs. Lastly, it also has come to the Department’s attention that the links to two studies associated with the CCPs are inoperable. Therefore, to assist potential applicants in responding to the CPPs, we are providing updated links to the two studies. The updated links are listed below: Bettinger, E.P., & Baker, R. (2011).

The deadline for transmittal of applications of February 2, 2015 and the deadline for intergovernmental review of April 2, 2015 remain unchanged.
