    The Federal Register notice from the Department of the Army proposes a public information collection for the Exchange Credit Program (OMB Control Number 0702–0137). This collection is crucial for determining credit eligibility, enhancing the patron's shopping experience, and collecting government debts from authorized patrons including uniformed service members, retirees, veterans, and dependents. The Department of Education issued revised common instructions for applicants seeking discretionary grant funds, superseding a previous version. These instructions streamline the application process by centralizing information on submission requirements, application review, and award administration, and notably include guidance on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in grant applications. Additionally, the Department of Education proposes a revision to the currently approved information collection request for the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students With Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) Evaluation Protocol.
