ACTION: Correction.

SUMMARY: We publish this notice to correct the Federal Student Aid
Application File (18-11-01) by restoring a routine use for disclosures
to third parties under computer matching programs that was
inadvertently deleted when this notice was republished in the Federal
Register. This restored routine use reflects that we disclose
information that applicants provide in their applications for Federal
student financial aid to other entities under approved computer
matching programs for the purpose of verifying that application
information.
DATES: The routine uses added by this notice are effective on April 11,
2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
General
On June 4, 1999, we republished in the Federal Register (64 FR
30105) virtually all of our systems of records, including this system
of records. Due to technical errors, we amended this system of records
in the Federal Register of December 27, 1999 (64 FR 72407) to correct
the categories of records in the system. In the Federal Register of
March 2, 2000 (65 FR 11294-95), we added routine uses numbers 10-15 to
this system of records.
We recently discovered that we had inadvertently deleted a routine
use involving disclosures to third parties under computer matching
programs (former routine use j) from the Federal Student Aid
Application File (18-11-01) when we republished this notice in the June
4, 1999 Federal Register. This notice restores that routine use.
Correction
In the Notice of New, Amended, Altered and Deleted Systems of
Records published in the Federal Register on June 4, 1999 (64 FR
30105), make the following correction beginning on page 30160, in the
first column, in the notice entitled ``Federal Student Aid Application
File (18-11-01),'' under the heading ``Routine Uses of Records
Maintained in the System, Including Categories of Users and Purposes of
Such Users,'' add the following numbered paragraph (16)
Note: Since the March 2, 2000 notice added routine uses numbers
10-15, this routine use is added as number (16)
(16) Disclosures to third parties through computer matching
programs. Any information from this system of records, including
personal information obtained from other agencies through computer
matching programs, may be disclosed to any third party through a
computer matching program in connection with an individual's
application or participation in any grant or loan program administered
by the U.S. Department of Education. Purposes of these disclosures may
be to determine program eligibility and benefits, enforce the
conditions and terms of the loan or grant, permit the servicing and
collecting of the loan or grant, counsel the individual in repayment
efforts, investigate possible fraud and verify compliance with program
regulations, locate a delinquent or defaulted debtor, and initiate
legal action against an individual involved in program fraud or abuse.
