correction, and (2) if the error resulted from information contained in 
the licensee's application for the license, the Chief, National 
Licensing Center, shall require the licensee to file an amended 
application setting forth the correct information, and a statement 
explaining the error contained in the application. The Chief, National 
Licensing Center, then shall make the correction on the license and
