Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is requesting a revision
of the 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.

Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
