Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 131 / Tuesday, July 11, 2023 / Notices
TEACH Grant Agreement currently
approved under OMB No. 1845–0083.
The Consider Teachers Act of 2021
(Pub. L. 117–49) made certain changes
to the provisions governing the TEACH
Grant Program in section 420N of the
HEA, one of which was to replace the
previous requirement for a TEACH
Grant recipient to comply with the
requirements for being a highly
qualified teacher as defined in section
9101 of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965 with a
requirement for the recipient to meet all
state certification requirements for
teaching (which may include meeting
such requirements through certification
obtained through alternative routes to
teaching). To reflect this statutory
change, we have modified the
Agreement by replacing all references to
the highly qualified teacher requirement
with the new requirement and removing
the definition of ‘‘highly qualified
teacher.’’ We have also updated the
section of the Agreement that describes
the terms and conditions of Direct
Unsubsidized Loans to reflect certain
changes to the Direct Loan Program
regulations that were made by a final
rule published in the Federal Register
on November 1, 2022 (87 FR 65904). In
addition to making these updates to
reflect statutory and regulatory changes,
we have made minor, non-substantive
wording changes in several places
throughout the Agreement for greater
clarity.
