Using the published KTeV sample of 2×106 KL→π±e∓ν decays [1] and a new form factor expansion with a rigorous bound on higher order terms [2], we present a new determination of the KL→π±e∓ν form factor and phase space integral. Compared to the previous KTeV result [1], the uncertainty in the new form factor expansion is negligible and results in an overall uncertainty in the phase space integral (IKe) that is a factor of 2 smaller: IKe=0.15392±0.00048.
