Title of Collection: Teacher Education Assistance for College and
Higher Education Grant Program (TEACH Grant Program) Service Obligation
Certification and Suspension Request Forms.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0158.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 54,495.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 17,982.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) is
requesting a revision of the Teacher Education Assistance for College
and Higher (TEACH) Grant Certification of Qualifying Teaching
(Certification), and five Service Obligation Suspension
[[Page 44295]]
Requests (Suspension Requests) currently approved under Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) No. 1845-0158. Under conditions that are
specified in the TEACH Grant Program regulations, a grant recipient may
request and receive a temporary suspension of the eight-year period for
completing the service obligation, and a grant recipient who is subject
to an extended call to active-duty military service may receive a
discharge of some or all of the four-year service obligation. The
requested revision to the information collection does not change the
current number of respondents, responses, or burden hours. The only
substantive proposed change is in the Certification. We have also made
a minor conforming change in the TEACH Grant Service Obligation
Suspension Request: Enrollment in a Qualifying Program or Completing
Teacher Licensure Requirements form and minor formatting change to the
TEACH Grant Service Obligation Suspension/Discharge Request: Military
Service. We are otherwise proposing no substantive changes to the
Certification and Suspension forms included with this submission.
