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

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

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: Teacher Cancellation Low Income Directory.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0077.
Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 57.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 6,840.
Abstract: The Teacher Cancellation Low Income (TCLI) Directory is
the on-line data repository of elementary and secondary schools and
educational service agencies that serve low-income families. State and
Territory agencies report these schools to the TCLI Directory. 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 student 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. Institutions of higher education as well as the
Department 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 loan cancellations or receiving the
TEACH Grant as grant funds.
