SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction
In the Federal Register of July 22, 2025, in FR Doc. 2025-13740, on
page 34487, in the third paragraph, correct the paragraph to read:
In accordance with the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking
Resources for Education (FUTURE) Act, much of the applicant's tax
return information, including information from their spouse and/or
parents, will come directly from the IRS and will not be viewable by
the student and other contributors. Such information that is
transferred and not edited will be verified and need no further
verification. However, for instances where income and tax information
cannot be obtained directly from the IRS, the applicant will have to
manually enter the necessary information into the FAFSA form, and that
manual entry may be subject to verification.

Education was signed on September 8, 2025, by Christopher J. McCaghren,
