SUMMARY:
On May 27, 2015, we published in the Federal Register a notice announcing the annual updates to the tables used in the statutory Federal Need Analysis Methodology that determines a student's expected family contribution for award year 2016-17. Section 478 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, requires the Secretary to annually update four tables for price inflation. This notice corrects the Education Savings and Asset Protection Allowance tables.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction
In the Federal Register of May 27, 2015 (80 FR 30217), we replace the tables included in section “3. Education Savings and Asset Protection Allowance” on pages 30218 through 30221 with the following tables. This allowance protects a portion of Net Worth (assets less debts) from being considered available for postsecondary educational expenses. There are three asset protection allowance tables: One for parents of dependent students, one for independent students with dependents other than a spouse, and one for independent students without dependents other than a spouse.
