    The Department of State has announced a 60-day period for public comments regarding a proposed information collection titled the Grant Request Automated Submissions Program (GRASP). This collection, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval and involves recipients of grants, with an estimated 193 respondents. The aim is to gather feedback on whether the collection is necessary, accurate, and clear, as well as to minimize the reporting burden on respondents. The information collected will aid the Department in assessing educational opportunities for dependents of U.S. Government personnel posted abroad and in assisting American schools overseas.
