SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

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: 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.
