Sec. 7712. Forgiveness of overpayments
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary may
forgive the obligation of a local educational agency to repay, in whole
or in part, the amount of any overpayment received under this
subchapter, or under this subchapter's predecessor authorities, if the
Secretary determines that the overpayment was made as a result of an
error made by--
(1) the Secretary; or
(2) the local educational agency and repayment of the full
amount of the overpayment will result in an undue financial hardship
on the agency and seriously harm the agency's educational program.
