for College and Higher Education Grant Program (TEACH Grant
Program) Service Obligation Certification and Suspension Request
Forms
New
collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
The final regulations simplify the
program requirements to make it easier for TEACH Grant recipients
to document their progress toward satisfying the service obligation
and expand the conditions under which a TEACH Grant recipient may
receive a temporary suspension of the period for completing the
teaching service obligation. The Department is requesting approval
of a new information collection for the TEACH Grant Certification
of Completed Teaching (Certification) and five Service Obligation
Suspension Requests (Suspension Requests) included with this
submission. The Military Service Suspension Request also serves as
the means by which a TEACH Grant recipient may request a full or
partial discharge of the service obligation based on extended
military service. The Certification and Suspension Requests reflect
the regulatory provisions as proposed in 34 CFR 686.40, 686.41 and
686.42.
The Department is requesting a
program change due to new regulatory requirements. This new
collection is estimated at a burden of 17,982 hours for 54,495
respondents and responses.
