Abstract:
The College Cost Reduction and Access Act (the CCRAA), Pub. L. 110-84, 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). The regulations for the TEACH Grant Program are in 34 CRF 686. The following sections of the TEACH Grant regulations are included in this information collection: 686.4, 686.11, 686.32, and 686.34. This is a request for an extension of the existing burden hours in OMB Control Number 1845-0084. The regulations in 686.4 require an institution that ceases to participate or becomes ineligible to participate in the TEACH Grant program during an award year to report to the Department of Education (the Department) within 45 days after the effective date of the loss of eligibility. The regulations in 686.11 establish that in addition to meeting the student eligibility requirements, in order to receive a TEACH Grant the applicant must submit the designated application, sign a TEACH Grant agreement to serve or repay (this burden is captured under OMB Control Number 1845-0083), and enroll in a TEACH Grant eligible institution. The regulations in 686.32 require an institution to provide initial, subsequent, and exit counseling to each TEACH Grant recipient and maintain documentation substantiating the counseling requirements. The regulations in 686.34 require the institution to promptly provide written notification to a student requesting repayment of any overpayment that the institution does not have responsibility to repay. The regulations also require that the institution refer the student to the Department if the student does not take positive action to promptly resolve the TEACH Grant overpayment. In addition, in 686.34 there is conversion counseling requirements for grant recipients whose TEACH Grants are converted to Direct Unsubsidized Loans.
