SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to 
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be 
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.
    Title of Collection: Teacher Education Assistance for College and 
Higher Education Grant Eligibility Regulations.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0084.
    Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector, Individuals, and

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 37,175.
    Abstract: The TEACH Grant Program was included for review in the 
Negotiated Rulemaking which took place in early 2019. Section 686.32 of 
the TEACH Grant regulations is being updated via this information 
collection. The final regulations in section 686.32 revise the 
information that is provided to TEACH Grant recipients during initial, 
subsequent, and exit counseling. The final regulations also add a new 
conversion counseling requirement for grant recipients whose TEACH 
Grants are converted to Direct Unsubsidized Loans. This conversion 
counseling material will be provided directly to the recipient from the 
Department based on the last address provided by the recipient. This is 
a request for a revision of the existing burden hours in OMB Control 
Number 1845-0084 which provides for TEACH Grant counseling.
