Title of Collection: Transition to

OMB Control Number: 1855–0018. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 42. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 42. 

Abstract: This is a request for 

approval to collect information from 

TTT grantees that will be used to 

describe the extent to which local 

education agencies that received TTT 

grant funds have met the goals relating 

to teacher recruitment and retention 

described in their application. TTT 

grantees are funded for a period of five 

years. Currently, grantees are required 

by statute to submit an interim project 

evaluation to the U.S. Department of 

Education (ED) at the end of the third 

project year and a final project 

evaluation at the project’s end. In turn, 

the TTT program is required to prepare 

and submit to the Secretary and to 

Congress interim and final program 

evaluations containing the results of 

these grantee project evaluation reports. 

An analysis of these reports has 

provided some data on grantee 

activities, prior to the usage of the TTT 

survey, missing or incomplete data 

made it difficult to aggregate data across 

grantees in order to accurately describe 

to Congress the extent of program 

implementation. This data collection 

allows ED to gather data on a common 

set of indicators across grantees in order 

to describe and improve program 

inplementation with the end goal of 

improving program performance.

Abstract: Institutions of higher

Department of Education, use the TCLI 

Directory to assist students in 

determining if the schools they may 

teach at upon completing their degrees 

meet the qualifications for receiving the

TEACH Grant as grant funds. The 

purpose of the TCLI Directory is to 

provide a single location for the public 

to find the list of schools and 

educational service agencies that are 

reported. By teaching at one of these 

schools, recipients of Federal Perkins 

Loans and Direct Loans may qualify for 

loan cancellation as provided under 

Title I of the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act of 1965. Additionally 

teaching at one of these schools is a 

requirement for the TEACH Grant 

program.

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the Elementary and Secondary School 

Counseling Programs is to support 

efforts by local educational agencies 

(LEAs) to establish or expand 

elementary school and secondary school 

counseling programs. 

Priorities: This notice contains two 

absolute and three competitive 

preference priorities. The absolute 

priorities are from section 5421 of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA) (20 

U.S.C. 7245) and from the notice of 

Supplemental Priorities for 

Discretionary Grant Programs, 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 15, 2010 (75 FR 78485), and 

corrected on May 12, 2011 (76 FR 

27637) (the ‘‘Supplemental Priorities’’). 

The competitive preference priorities 

are from the Supplemental Priorities 

and the notice of final priority 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 16, 2011 (76 FR 78250). 

Absolute Priorities: For FY 2012 and 

any subsequent year in which we make 

awards from the list of unfunded 

applicants from this competition, these 

priorities are absolute priorities. Under 

34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only 

applications that meet these priorities. 

These priorities are: 

Absolute Priority 1: Establish or 

expand counseling programs in 

elementary schools, secondary schools, 

or both. 

Absolute Priority 2: Enabling More 

Data-Based Decision-Making. 

Projects that are designed to collect 

(or obtain), analyze, and use highquality and timely data, including data 

on program participant outcomes, in 

accordance with privacy requirements 

(as defined in this notice), in the 

following priority area: improving 

instructional practices, policies, and 

student outcomes in elementary or 

secondary schools. 

Competitive Preference Priorities: For 

FY 2012 and any subsequent year in 

which we make awards from the list of 

unfunded applicants from this 

competition, these priorities are 

competitive preference priorities. Under 

34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i), we award up to 

an additional 5 points to an application, 

depending on how well the application 

meets one of the following three 

priorities. Applicants may address more 

than one of the competitive preference 

priorities; however, the Department will 

review and award points under only one 

of the priorities. Therefore, an applicant 

must identify in its application the 

competitive preference priority under 

which it is seeking points. An applicant 

must identify in the abstract section of 

its application the priority it wishes the 

Department to consider for purposes of 

earning competitive preference priority 

points. 

Note: The Department will not review or 

award points under any competitive 

preference priority for an application that (1) 

fails to clearly identify in the abstract the 

competitive preference priority the applicant 

wishes the Department to consider for 

purposes of earning competitive preference 

priority points, or (2) identifies more than 

one competitive preference priority the 

applicant wishes the Department to consider 

for purposes of earning competitive 

preference priority points. 

These priorities are: 

Competitive Preference Priority 1: 

Projects Serving Students Residing on 

Indian Lands. 

Under this priority, we give priority to 

applications for projects that are
