We present a determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa parameter |Vus| based on new measurements of the six largest KL branching fractions and semileptonic form factors by the KTeV (E832) experiment at Fermilab. We find |Vus|=0.2252±0.0008KTeV±0.0021ext, where the errors are from KTeV measurements and from external sources. We also use the measured branching fractions to determine the CP violation parameter |η+-|=(2.228±0.005KTeV±0.009ext)×10-3.
