    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 57.
    Total Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 6,840.
    Abstract: The Teacher Cancellation Low Income (TCLI) Directory is 
the online data repository of elementary and secondary schools and 
educational service agencies that serve low-income families. State and 
Territory agencies report these schools to the TCLI Directory. The 
purpose of the TCLI Directory is to provide a single location for the 
public to find the list of schools and educational service agencies 
that are reported. By teaching at one of these schools, recipients of 
Federal Perkins Loans and Direct Loans may qualify for loan 
cancellation as provided under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act of 1965. Additionally teaching at one of these schools is 
a requirement for the Teacher Education Assistance for College and 
Higher Education (TEACH) Grant program. Institutions of higher 
education, as well as the Department, use the TCLI Directory to assist 
students in determining if the schools at which they may teach, upon 
completing their degrees, meet the qualifications for receiving the 
loan cancellations or receiving the TEACH Grant as grant funds.
