    Abstract: On April 13, 2020 the Department of Education published 
in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Priorities, Requirements, 
Definition, and Selection Criteria for the Education Innovation and 
Research Grant Programs's Teacher-Directed Professional Learning 
Experiences (Vol. 85, No. 71, pages 20455-20460). Specifically, the 
Department proposed a new priority and accompanying application 
requirements, definition, and selection criteria for applicants 
proposing to empower teachers to select professional learning. The 
Innovation and Early Learning Programs Division of the Department is 
requesting a reinstatement with change of the previously OMB approved 
1855-0021 collection due to this rulemaking for the Education 
Innovation and Research (EIR) Application Package program authorized 
under Title VI, Part F, Subpart 1, of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act.
