affiliation);
    (2) Include the legal description of the land to be acquired; and
    (3) Include all information which shows that the proposed 
acquisition meets the applicable requirements in this regulation.
    (b) The request does not need to be in any special form. However, we

discretionary or mandatory),

enable us to review the request more efficiently.
