Title of Collection: Teacher Education 

Assistance for College and Higher 

Education Grant Program (TEACH 

Grant) Agreement to Serve or Repay. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0083. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved ICR.

Individuals or households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 50,793.

Abstract: The U.S. Department of 

Education is requesting a revision of the 

TEACH Grant Agreement currently 

approved under OMB No. 1845–0083. 

The Consider Teachers Act of 2021 

(Pub. L. 117–49) made certain changes 

to the provisions governing the TEACH 

Grant Program in section 420N of the 

HEA, one of which was to replace the 

previous requirement for a TEACH 

Grant recipient to comply with the 

requirements for being a highly 

qualified teacher as defined in section 

9101 of the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act of 1965 with a 

requirement for the recipient to meet all 

state certification requirements for 

teaching (which may include meeting 

such requirements through certification 

obtained through alternative routes to 

teaching). To reflect this statutory 

change, we have modified the 

Agreement by replacing all references to 

the highly qualified teacher requirement 

with the new requirement and removing 

the definition of ‘‘highly qualified 

teacher.’’ We have also updated the 

section of the Agreement that describes 

the terms and conditions of Direct 

Unsubsidized Loans to reflect certain 

changes to the Direct Loan Program 

regulations that were made by a final 

rule published in the Federal Register 

on November 1, 2022 (87 FR 65904). In 

addition to making these updates to 

reflect statutory and regulatory changes, 

we have made minor, non-substantive 

wording changes in several places 

throughout the Agreement for greater 

clarity.
