    The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) allows for up 
to a one hundred percent cancellation of a Federal Perkins Loan and 
loan forgiveness of a Federal Family Education Loan and Direct Loan 
program loan if the graduate teaches full-time in an elementary or 
secondary school serving low-income students.
    The data collected for the development of the Teacher Cancellation 
Low Income Directory provides web-based access to a list of all 
elementary and secondary schools, and educational service agencies that 
serve a total enrollment of more than 30 percent low income students 
(as defined under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act of 1965, as amended). The Directory allows post-secondary 
institutions to determine whether or not a teacher, who received a 
Federal Perkins Loan, Direct Loan, or Federal Family Education Loan at 
their school, is eligible to receive loan cancellation or forgiveness 
or that a teacher who received a Teacher Education Assistance for 
College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant is meeting the service 
obligation. This revision request updates the collection with an 
optional school type data element.
