Abstract:
The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant program is a non-need-based grant program that provides up to $4,000 per year to students who are enrolled in an eligible program and who agree to teach in a high-need field, at a low-income elementary or secondary school for at least four years within eight years of completing the program for which the TEACH Grant was awarded. The TEACH Grant program regulations are required to ensure accountability of the program participants, both institutions and student recipients, for proper program administration, to determine eligibility to receive program benefits and to prevent fraud and abuse of program funds. The regulations include both recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The recordkeeping by the school allows for review of compliance with the regulations during on-site institution reviews. The Department uses the required reporting to allow for close-out of institutions that are no longer participating or who lose eligibility to participate in the program.

Short Statement:
The decrease in burden of 2,127 hours to a new total burden of 33,568 hours as identified in section 12 is an adjustment resulting from a review of the anticipated participation rate based on the FY 2012 budget request and a change from the development phase of the counseling processes by the participating institutions to the maintenance phase of the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the participating institutions. The downward adjustment to the annualized costs of $67,337.01 is attributed to the change from the development of counseling tools by institutions to the review and updating of counseling tools by the majority of the TEACH Grant program participants.
