Not op and maybe I'm misunderstanding, but the correction is part of the spec in satellite design, not something that can be kept secret[1]. The timing code that is translated into navigational data, however, is encoded and encrypted, which have some well-known keys, and that used to prevent high accuracy. My understanding is that the us government can change those to prevent GPS usage or to limit accuracy. [2]
