Abstract:
The College Cost Reduction and Access Act (Public Law 110-84) (the CCRAA) established the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant program under Part A of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA). As a condition for receiving a TEACH Grant, a student must sign an Agreement to Serve. A new Agreement to Serve must be signed for each award year during which a student wishes to receive a TEACH Grant. By signing the Agreement to Serve, a TEACH Grant recipient agrees to meet the teaching service obligation and other terms and conditions of the TEACH Grant Program that are described in the Agreement to Service. In accordance with these terms and conditions, if a TEACH Grant recipient does not fulfill the required teaching service obligation or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of the TEACH Grant Program, any TEACH Grant funds the individual received will be converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan that the grant recipient must repay in full, with interest. The Agreement to Serve also explains the repayment terms and conditions that will apply if a TEACH Grant is converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan.

Short Statement:
There is a downward adjustment of 9,267 hours. Because the TEACH Grant Program was a new program when the currently approved version of the Agreement to Serve was first submitted for OMB approval, the current annual reporting burden was based on an estimate of the annual number of individuals who were expected to complete the Agreement to Serve. However, the actual number of individuals completing the Agreement to Serve each year since the TEACH Grant Program was implemented has been less than what was estimated before the program began.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$800,000
