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 subchapters predecessor authorities, if the Secretary determines that the overpayment was made as a result of an error made by—

(1) the Secretary; or
