Abstract: The TEACH Grant Program was included for review in the Negotiated Rulemaking which took place in early 2019. Section 686.32 of the TEACH Grant regulations is being updated via this information collection. The final regulations in section 686.32 revise the information that is provided to TEACH Grant recipients during initial, subsequent, and exit counseling. The final regulations also add a new conversion counseling requirement for grant recipients whose TEACH Grants are converted to Direct Unsubsidized Loans. This conversion counseling material will be provided directly to the recipient from the Department based on the last address provided by the recipient. This is a request for a revision of the existing burden hours in OMB Control Number 1845-0084 which provides for TEACH Grant counseling.
