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: Highly Qualified
Teachers Clearance
OMB Control Number: 1875–NEW
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 17,053
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 115,000
Abstract: As set forth in Section
145(b) of H.J. Res. 117, the Fiscal Year
2013 Continuing Resolution (CR)
Congress directed the U.S. Department
of Education (ED) to submit a report to
Congress on December 31, 2013,
regarding the degree to which certain
populations of students (students with
disabilities, English language learners,
rural students, and economically
disadvantaged students) are taught by
teachers participating in an alternative
route to certification program. State
educational agencies (SEAs) and local
educational agencies (LEAs) have not
been required to collect nor report this
information. The requisite data must be
reported from schools to LEAs to SEAs.
ED respectfully seeks clearance to
collect this information required to
answer Congress’s directive. It is
anticipated that the collection is needed
for one year only; hence, SEAs are not
likely to alter their data collection and
reporting systems to meet this data
reporting requirement.

Acting Director, Information Collection
Clearance Division, Privacy, Information and
