2015 Teacher Cancellation Low Income (TCLI) Directory (eCB 16.0)

A.	Justification	

1.	Explain	the	circumstances	that	make	the	collection	of	information	necessary.		

Identify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate the collection. Attach a hard copy of the 

appropriate section of each statute and regulation mandating or authorizing the collection of information, or you 

may provide a valid URL link or paste the applicable section1. Specify the review type of the collection (new, 

revision, extension, reinstatement with change, reinstatement without change). If revised, briefly specify the 

changes. If a rulemaking is involved, make note of the sections or changed sections, if applicable.

The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) allows for up to a one hundred percent 

cancellation of a Federal Perkins Loan and loan forgiveness of a Federal Family Education Loan and 

Direct Loan program loan if the graduate teaches full-time in an elementary or secondary school serving 

low-income students. 

The data collected for the development of the Teacher Cancellation Low Income Directory provides webbased access to a list of all elementary and secondary schools, and educational service agencies that 

serve a total enrollment of more than 30 percent low income students (as defined under Title I, Part A of 

the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended). The Directory allows postsecondary institutions to determine whether or not a teacher, who received a Federal Perkins Loan, 

Direct Loan, or Federal Family Education Loan at their school, is eligible to receive loan cancellation or 

forgiveness or that a teacher who received a TEACH Grant is meeting the service obligation. 

The regulatory authority governing the Teacher Cancellation process for the loan programs and the 

verification of the obligation to serve for the TEACH Grant for which the TCLI Directory is used are:

Federal Perkins Loan funds 34 CFR 674.53 ; 

Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) 34 CFR 682.216 ; 

William D. Ford Direct Loan (DL) Program 34 CFR 685.217 ; 

and

Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program 34 CFR 

686.40.

OMB Number: 1845-0077 Revised: 2/19/2015

2015 Teacher Cancellation Low Income (TCLI) Directory (eCB 16.0)

Effective August 14, 2008, The Higher Education Opportunity Act (P. Law 110-315) amended section 

465(a)(2)(A) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, to authorize loan cancellation or 

forgiveness for full-time teaching service in locations operated by an educational service agency. 

Sections of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, that govern these programs can be found at

the Office of Postsecondary Education Policy Resource page.

The list of schools and educational service agencies that serve low-income families in the TCLI Directory 

qualifies teachers for loan cancellation under the Federal Perkins Loan Program, and loan forgiveness 

under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan 

(Direct Loan) Program. This list also satisfies certain aspects of the teaching obligation in the Teacher 

Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant program. If a State does not 

update its list of low-income schools, Perkins, FFEL and Direct Loan borrowers and TEACH Grant 

recipients who teach in that State may not receive Federal program benefits to which they may be 

entitled.

Changes being made to the TCLI Directory

No additions are being made to the data collection. This submittal is to:

 Renew the expiration date as it expires 6/30/2015, 

 Provide updated address information, and

 Provide minor verbiage update.

2.		Indicate	how,	by	whom,	and	for	what	purpose	the	information	is	to	be	used. 

Except for a new collection, indicate the actual use the agency has made of the information received from the 

current collection.

Information is obtained from State Agencies that contribute to the development of a directory of 

elementary and secondary schools and educational service agencies that serve low-income families that 

qualify for the teacher cancellation benefit. Failure to collect this information would prevent teachers from 

receiving specific student loan cancellations or knowing if they are meeting requirements of the TEACH 

Grant.

Colleges and universities use the information in the Directory to research schools that meet the criteria for 

their students to take advantage of specific student loan teacher cancellation and TEACH Grant benefits.

The public (students and their families) use information in the Directory to research career choices that 

will allow them to take advantage of specific student loan teacher cancellation and TEACH Grant benefits.

3.		Describe	whether,	and	to	what	extent,	the	collection	of	information	involves	the	use	of	

automated,	electronic,	mechanical,	or	other	technological	collection	techniques	or	forms	of	

information	technology;

e.g. permitting electronic submission of responses, and the basis for the decision of adopting this means of 

collection. Also describe any consideration given to using technology to reduce burden.

The Teacher Cancellation Low Income Directory is a web-based system. Changes and updates to the 

directory may be made whenever necessary. Also, any changes to the directory are made in real time. 

This allows students who may be authorized to have all or part of their loans forgiven for teaching at 

schools that meet the criteria as being designated as a low income school to have access to immediate 

and accurate data. 

The Teacher Cancellation Low Income directory can be accessed at https://www.tcli.ed.gov.

4.		Describe	efforts	to	identify	duplication. 

Show specifically why any similar information already available cannot be used or modified for use for the 

purposes described in Item 2 above.

The TCLI Directory data collection requires inclusion of both public and private nonprofit elementary and 

secondary schools and educational service agencies where more than 30 percent of the school's or 

educational service agency's total enrollment is made up of children who qualify for services provided 

under title I. Standard language provided to the state contacts providing the data explains the flexibility of 

the state in determining the measure of 30%:

To qualify for inclusion on the Directory of Designated Low Income Schools, a school must be in a school 

district of a local education agency that is eligible for assistance under Title I, Part A of the Elementary 

and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), and the school must be a school "in which the number of 

children meeting a measure of poverty under section 1113(a)(5) of the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act of 1965, exceeds 30 percent of the total number of children enrolled in such school" 

(Section 465(a)(2)(A)(i)(I), Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended). The "measures of poverty," as 

set out in section 1113(a)(5) of the ESEA, are:

"(5) MEASURES- The local educational agency shall use the same measure of poverty, which measure 

shall be the number of children ages 5 through 17 in poverty counted in the most recent census data 

approved by the Secretary, the number of children eligible for free and reduced priced lunches under the 

Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, the number of children in families receiving assistance 

under the State program funded under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act, or the number of 

children eligible to receive medical assistance under the Medicaid program, or a composite of such 

indicators, with respect to all school attendance areas in the local educational agency. . ."

OMB Number: 1845-0077 Revised: 2/19/2015

2015 Teacher Cancellation Low Income (TCLI) Directory (eCB 16.0)

The availability of the most current data is of concern for the teachers meeting the specific requirements 

for loan forgiveness and or meeting the service requirements of the TEACH Grant. Each year, in July, 

the TCLI Directory is updated to accept the most recent year data while also continuing to accept updates 

and changes to data in past years. The current data provided by the states is available real-time and the 

system is open year-round for public and government use and available for update year-round by state 

contacts.

FSA recognizes that EDFacts (www.ed.gov/open/plan/edfacts) does collect data from Title I schools. 

However, in discussions with the staff that works with the EDFacts data collection, we’ve learned that the 

data within EDFacts would not specifically meet the TCLI Directory immediate needs of:

• Both public and private school data: 

EDFacts contains public school data. Private school data would come from a different request of data.

• Flexibility in statutory options that states use to determine the 30% measure of poverty: 

In order to use EDFacts data, FSA would have to define the 30% measure.

Annual communications are sent to each state contact providing information and instructions concerning 

the current data upload to the TCLI Directory. In addition, a link to the State Contact User’s Guide is 

being implemented on the TCLI Web site.

5.		If	the	collection	of	information	impacts	small	businesses	or	other	small	entities,	describe	

any	methods	used	to	minimize	burden.

A small entity may be (1) a small business which is deemed to be one that is independently owned and operated 

and that is not dominant in its field of operation; (2) a small organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise that 

is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field; or (3) a small government jurisdiction, 

which is a government of a city, county, town, township, school district, or special district with a population of 

less than 50,000.

The collection of this information does not involve small businesses or other small entities. 

6.		Describe	the	consequences	to	Federal	program	or	policy	activities	if	the	collection	is	not	

conducted	or	is	conducted	less	frequently.

Also describe any technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden.

If the collection is not conducted or is done less frequently, the ability to cancel student loans that qualify 

for cancellation throughout the school year would be hindered as explained in item 4. “Efforts to Identify 

Duplication” above.

OMB Number: 1845-0077 Revised: 2/19/2015

2015 Teacher Cancellation Low Income (TCLI) Directory (eCB 16.0)

7.	Explain	any	special	circumstances	that	would	cause	an	information	collection	to	be	

conducted	in	a	manner:

 requiring respondents to report information to the agency more often than quarterly;

 requiring respondents to prepare a written response to a collection of information in fewer than 30 days 

after receipt of it;

 requiring respondents to submit more than an original and two copies of any document;

 requiring respondents to retain records, other than health, medical, government contract, grant-in-aid, 

or tax records for more than three years;

 in connection with a statistical survey, that is not designed to produce valid and reliable results than can 

be generalized to the universe of study;

 requiring the use of a statistical data classification that has not been reviewed and approved by OMB;

 that includes a pledge of confidentiality that is not supported by authority established in statute or 

regulation, that is not supported by disclosure and data security policies that are consistent with the 

pledge, or that unnecessarily impedes sharing of data with other agencies for compatible confidential 

use; or

 requiring respondents to submit proprietary trade secrets, or other confidential information unless the 

agency can demonstrate that it has instituted procedures to protect the information’s confidentiality to 

the extent permitted by law.

There are no special circumstances inconsistent with these guidelines.

8.		As	applicable,	state	that	the	Department	has	published	the	60	and	30	Federal	Register	

notices	as	required	by	5	CFR	1320.8(d),	soliciting	comments	on	the	information	collection	prior	

to	submission	to	OMB.		

Summarize public comments received in response to that notice and describe actions taken by the agency in 

response to these comments. Specifically address comments received on cost and hour burden.

Describe efforts to consult with persons outside the agency to obtain their views on the availability of data, 

frequency of collection, the clarity of instruction and record keeping, disclosure, or reporting format (if any), and 

on the data elements to be recorded, disclosed, or reported.

Consultation with representatives of those from whom information is to be obtained or those who must compile 

records should occur at least once every 3 years – even if the collection of information activity is the same as in 

prior periods. There may be circumstances that may preclude consultation in a specific situation. These 

circumstances should be explained.
6

OMB Number: 1845-0077 Revised: 2/19/2015

2015 Teacher Cancellation Low Income (TCLI) Directory (eCB 16.0)

The data is requested from State agencies only. A sixty-day Federal Register Notice was published to 

allow public comment. No public comment was received. This request is for the 30-day notice to allow 

for public comment.

9.		Explain	any	decision	to	provide	any	payment	or	gift	to	respondents,	other	than	

remuneration	of	contractors	or	grantees with	meaningful	justification.

There are no payments or gifts to respondents.

10.	Describe	any	assurance	of	confidentiality	provided	to	respondents	and	the	basis	for	the	

assurance	in	statute,	regulation,	or	agency	policy.

If personally identifiable information (PII) is being collected, a Privacy Act statement should be included on the 

instrument. Please provide a citation for the Systems of Record Notice and the date a Privacy Impact Assessment 

was completed as indicated on the IC Data Form. A confidentiality statement with a legal citation that authorizes 

the pledge of confidentiality should be provided.2If the collection is subject to the Privacy Act, the Privacy Act 

statement is deemed sufficient with respect to confidentiality. If there is no expectation of confidentiality, simply 

state that the Department makes no pledge about the confidentially of the data.

The Department makes no pledge about the confidentiality of the data.

11.	Provide	additional	justification	for	any	questions	of a	sensitive	nature,	such	as	sexual	

behavior	and	attitudes,	religious	beliefs,	and	other	matters	that	are	commonly	considered	

private.		

The justification should include the reasons why the agency considers the questions necessary, the specific uses 

to be made of the information, the explanation to be given to persons from whom the information is requested, 

and any steps to be taken to obtain their consent.

This collection does not include information of a sensitive nature.

2015 Teacher Cancellation Low Income (TCLI) Directory (eCB 16.0)

12.	Provide	estimates	of	the	hour burden	of	the	collection	of	information. 

The statement should:

 Indicate the number of respondents by affected public type (federal government, individuals or 

households, private sector – businesses or other for-profit, private sector – not-for-profit institutions, 

farms, state, local or tribal governments), frequency of response, annual hour burden, and an 

explanation of how the burden was estimated, including identification of burden type: 

recordkeeping, reporting or third party disclosure. All narrative should be included in item 12. 

Unless directed to do so, agencies should not conduct special surveys to obtain information on which 

to base hour burden estimates. Consultation with a sample (fewer than 10) of potential respondents 

is desirable. If the hour burden on respondents is expected to vary widely because of differences in 

activity, size, or complexity, show the range of estimated hour burden, and explain the reasons for 

the variance. Generally, estimates should not include burden hours for customary and usual 

business practices.

 If this request for approval covers more than one form, provide separate hour burden estimates for 

each form and aggregate the hour burdens in the ROCIS IC Burden Analysis Table. (The table 

should at minimum include Respondent types, IC activity, Respondent and Responses, 

Hours/Response, and Total Hours)

 Provide estimates of annualized cost to respondents of the hour burdens for collections of 

information, identifying and using appropriate wage rate categories. The cost of contracting out or 

paying outside parties for information collection activities should not be included here. Instead, this 

cost should be included in Item 14.

There are a total of 57 State and Territorial agency respondents. The data can be updated at any time 

and is used by four financial aid programs in the Department. State agencies collect data from 

elementary and secondary schools in their districts, review the data, and update and add any new data to 

the Directory as necessary. In an effort to reduce the burden to the states, Federal Student Aid maintains 

the TCLI Directory so that it is available year-round and is easy to use. Clarifications to online text have 

been added to assist in the user’s understanding of data to be reported and how to upload, add, and 

modify data and contact information. A link to the State Contact User’s Guide has been added to the 

Web site so that it, too, is always available to the user. A random sample of a few State agencies 

showed that it took an average of three 40-hour work weeks to collect, review and input data in the 

Directory. (See matrix below.)

resulting	from	the	collection	of	information. 

(Do not include the cost of any hour burden shown in Items 12 and 14.)

 The cost estimate should be split into two components: (a) a total capital and start-up cost component 

(annualized over its expected useful life); and (b) a total operation and maintenance and purchase of 

services component. The estimates should take into account costs associated with generating, 

maintaining, and disclosing or providing the information. Include descriptions of methods used to 

estimate major cost factors including system and technology acquisition, expected useful life of capital 

equipment, the discount rate(s), and the time period over which costs will be incurred. Capital and startup costs include, among other items, preparations for collecting information such as purchasing 

computers and software; monitoring, sampling, drilling and testing equipment; and acquiring and 

maintaining record storage facilities.

 If cost estimates are expected to vary widely, agencies should present ranges of cost burdens and explain 

the reasons for the variance. The cost of contracting out information collection services should be a part 

of this cost burden estimate. In developing cost burden estimates, agencies may consult with a sample of 

respondents (fewer than 10), utilize the 60-day pre-OMB submission public comment process and use 

existing economic or regulatory impact analysis associated with the rulemaking containing the 

information collection, as appropriate.

 Generally, estimates should not include purchases of equipment or services, or portions thereof, made: 

(1) prior to October 1, 1995, (2) to achieve regulatory compliance with requirements not associated with 

the information collection, (3) for reasons other than to provide information or keep records for the 

government or (4) as part of customary and usual business or private practices. Also, these estimates 

should not include the hourly costs (i.e., the monetization of the hours) captured above in Item 12

____________________

Total Annualized Costs Requested : $0

The nature of business for State and Territorial agencies is such that purchases of equipment and 

provision of services that are required for completion of their directory submissions are a part of their 

customary and usual business practice. They use the type of equipment and services normally 

necessary to successfully operate any State entity. Therefore, no special equipment or services are 

required for providing data.

14.	Provide	estimates	of	annualized	cost	to	the	Federal	government. 

Also, provide a description of the method used to estimate cost, which should include quantification of hours, 

operational expenses (such as equipment, overhead, printing, and support staff), and any other expense that 

would not have been incurred without this collection of information. Agencies also may aggregate cost estimates 

from Items 12, 13, and 14 in a single table.

The matrix below describes the separate costs for TCLI Directory.

A staff of 8.5 FTE’s is required for the operation of the campus-based programs and the eCB system. This includes the 

FISAP and Reallocation forms as well as the TCLI Directory, Work Colleges Application and Expenditure forms, and the 

CTP-Intellectual disabilities form as footnoted above. The types of program staff include managers, accountants, 

financial management specialists, technicians, systems analysts, and clerical staff. The total amount of annual salaries 

devoted to eCampus-Based activities is $1,354,102.

Using the Salary Table 2014-DCB Effective January 2014, the average hourly wage of the current staff composition is 

$51.02. 

Note:

The total amount of annual salaries devoted eCB activities is divided as:

Generally, adjustments in burden result from re-estimating burden and/or from economic phenomenon outside 

of an agency’s control (e.g., correcting a burden estimate or an organic increase in the size of the reporting 

universe). Program changes result from a deliberate action that materially changes a collection of information 

and generally are result of new statute or an agency action (e.g., changing a form, revising regulations, 

redefining the respondent universe, etc.). Burden changes should be disaggregated by type of change (i.e., 

adjustment, program change due to new statute, and/or program change due to agency discretion), type of 

collection (new, revision, extension, reinstatement with change, reinstatement without change) and include totals 

for changes in burden hours, responses and costs (if applicable).

This is a request for an extension of the currently approved information collection 1845-0077. There has 

been no change to the underlying regulatory requirements. We are requesting a correction to the number 

of current responses. There are only 57 responses anticipated, one for each of the affected entities. The 

current clearance indicates 114 responses. We believe this was a typographical error in the previous 

submission. While entities can submit data more than one time per year, the average is once a year. 

The estimated total annual reporting and record keeping hour burden has not changed from the current 

OMB inventory of 120 hours per respondent, times 57 respondents for a total burden of 6840 hours. 

16.	For	collections	of	information	whose	results	will	be	published,	outline	plans	for	tabulation
