SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

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: Targeted Teacher 

Shortage Areas Nationwide Listing. 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0595. 

Type of Review: Extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 57. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 4,560. 

Abstract: This request is for approval 

of recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements that are contained in the 

Federal Family Education Loan 

Programs (FFELP) regulations, which 

address the targeted teacher deferment 

provision of the Higher Education Act of 

1965, as amended. The information 

collected is necessary for a State to 

support its annual request for 

designation of teacher shortage areas 

within the State. The collection of 

information from Chief State School 

Officers to support and document the 

request for teacher shortage areas within 

a given State can potentially enable 

student financial aid recipients to defer, 

reduce, or discharge loan debts and/or 

meet other specified obligations.
