claim an interest in the lands that a corrected patent or document of 

conveyance shall be issued. The notification shall include a description 

of how the error is to be corrected or eliminated in the patent or 

document of conveyance. The notice shall require the applicant to 

surrender the original patent or other document of conveyance to be 

corrected. Where such original document is unavailable, a statement 

setting forth the reasons for its unavailability shall be submitted in 

lieu of the original document. The notice may include a requirement for 

quitclaiming to the United States the lands erroneously included, and 

shall specify any terms and conditions required for the quitclaim.
