Corrections

    In FR Doc 2021-19536 appearing on page 50707-50709 in the Federal 
Register of September 10, 2021 (86 FR 50707), the following corrections 
are made:
    1. On page 50709, in the first column, the paragraph (m) under the 
heading ``Code of Conduct'' is revised to read as follows:
    If you have Title IV loans, they must be in good standing. If you 
have a loan that goes into default, your access to the Department's 
information systems to administer the Title IV Programs under the HEA 
will be revoked. This means your access to conduct business functions 
within the Department's IT systems will be revoked. This includes, but 
not limited to, access to: Common Origination and Disbursement (COD), 
Financial Aid Administrator (FAA) Access to Central Processing System 
(CPS) Online, and the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS[supreg]) 
will be revoked. Access to manage and view your own Title IV loans and 
financial aid history through the Department's information systems and/
or your federal loan servicer as an aid recipient or borrower will not 
be revoked.
