Title of Collection: Special EducationIndividual Reporting on Regulatory

OMB Control Number: 1820–0686.
Type of Review: A revision of a
currently approved ICR.

Abstract: The Office of Special
Education Program’s Personnel
Development Program aims to increase
the supply of qualified personnel in the
field of special education. The program
awards competitive grants to
Institutions of Higher Education to
support scholars who are preparing to
provide special education and related
services to children and youth with
disabilities. Scholars who receive
funding agree to work in the field of
special education or related services for
two years for each year of support they
receive.
The Personnel Development Program
Data Collection System collects data
from grantees, scholars, and employers
who verify that scholars are employed
in the field of special education or
related services. This data collection
serves three program needs. First, data
from grantees, scholars, and employers
are necessary to assess the performance
of the Personnel Development Program
on its performance measures. Second,
data from all three sources are necessary
to determine if scholars comply with the
service obligation requirements. Finally,
project-specific performance data are
collected from grantees for project
monitoring and program improvement.

Title of Collection: Teacher Education
Assistance for College and Higher
Education Grant Program Obligation to
Repay Grant Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 1845–0157.
Type of Review: An extension without
change of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 77,109.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 13,131.
Abstract: The College Cost Reduction
and Access Act (Pub. L. 110–84) (the
CCRAA) established the Teacher
Education Assistance for College and
Higher Education (TEACH) Grant
Program under Part A of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (the
HEA). The regulations governing the
TEACH Grant Program are in 34 CFR
686. The Department of Education (the
Department) is requesting extension
without change of this information
collection for the TEACH Grant
regulations under 34 CFR 686.43.
The TEACH Grant Program provides
grants of up to $4,000 per year to
undergraduate and graduate students
who are completing, or who intend to
complete, coursework necessary to
begin a career in teaching. In exchange
for receiving a TEACH Grant, a grant
recipient must agree to complete a
teaching service obligation and must
regularly provide documentation of his
or her progress toward satisfying the
service obligation. If a grant recipient
fails to complete the service obligation
or does not meet requirements for
documenting the service obligation, the
TEACH Grants that the individual
received are converted to a Direct
Unsubsidized Loan that must be repaid,
with interest charged from the date of
each TEACH Grant disbursement.
The regulations govern when a
TEACH Grant will be converted to a
Direct Unsubsidized Loan, as well as
provide for annual notifications from
the Secretary to the recipient regarding
the status of a recipient’s TEACH Grant
service obligation. Under the
regulations, a TEACH Grant recipient
can request conversion if the recipient
decides not to fulfill the TEACH Grant

obligations for any reason or if the
recipient fails to begin or maintain
qualifying teaching service within a
timeframe to complete the service
obligation in the requisite eight-year
period. Additionally, the regulations
describe the notifications the Secretary
will annually send to all TEACH Grant
recipients regarding the service
obligation requirements.

Type of Review: New ICR.

Abstract: The Office of Elementary
and Secondary Education (OESE) in the
US Department of Education (ED)
requests clearance for a new information
collection for the School Ambassador
Fellowship program. The U.S.
Department of Education established the
School Ambassador Fellowship to
enable outstanding teachers,
administrators, and other school
leaders, such as school counselors,
psychologists, social workers, and
librarians to bring their school and
classroom expertise to the Department
and to expand their knowledge of the
national dialogue about education. The
School Ambassador Fellowship is a
professional learning community
designed to improve educational
outcomes for students by leveraging the
expertise of school-based practitioners
in the creation, evaluation, and
dissemination of information around
national education initiatives. The
Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA)
mobility program regulations (5 CFR
part 334), revised effective May 29,
1997, allow federal agencies to facilitate
cooperation between the Federal
Government and the non-Federal entity
through the temporary assignment of
skilled personnel. In order to identify
the most skilled personnel for the
position of Ambassador Fellow we are
requesting OMB approval to collect
School Ambassador Fellowship
applications.

Title of Collection: Teacher Education Assistance for College and

Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 77,109.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 13,131.
Abstract: The College Cost Reduction and Access Act (Pub. L. 110-
84) (the CCRAA) established the Teacher Education Assistance for
College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program under Part A of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA). The regulations
governing the TEACH Grant Program are in 34 CFR 686. The Department of
Education (the Department) is requesting extension without change of
this information collection for the TEACH Grant regulations under 34
CFR 686.43.
The TEACH Grant Program provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to
undergraduate and graduate students who are completing, or who intend
to complete, coursework necessary to begin a career in teaching. In
exchange for receiving a TEACH Grant, a grant recipient must agree to
complete a teaching service obligation and must regularly provide
documentation of his or her progress toward satisfying the service
obligation. If a grant recipient fails to complete the service
obligation or does not meet requirements for documenting the service
obligation, the TEACH Grants that the individual received are converted
to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan that must be repaid, with interest
charged from the date of each TEACH Grant disbursement.
The regulations govern when a TEACH Grant will be converted to a
Direct Unsubsidized Loan, as well as provide for annual notifications
from the Secretary to the recipient regarding the status of a
recipient's TEACH Grant service obligation. Under the regulations, a
TEACH Grant recipient can request conversion if the recipient decides
not to fulfill the TEACH Grant obligations for any reason or if the
recipient fails to begin or maintain qualifying teaching service within
a timeframe to complete the service obligation in the requisite eight-
year period. Additionally, the regulations describe the notifications
the Secretary will annually send to all TEACH Grant recipients
regarding the service obligation requirements.
