Sec.  478.48  Correction of error on license.

    (a) Upon receipt of a license issued under the provisions of this 
part, each licensee shall examine same to ensure that the information 
contained thereon is accurate. If the license is incorrect, the licensee 
shall return the license to the Chief, National Licensing Center, with a 
statement showing the nature of the error. The Chief, National Licensing 
Center, shall correct the error, if the error was made in his office, 
and return the license. However, 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. Upon receipt of the 
amended application and a satisfactory explanation of the error, the 
Chief, National Licensing Center, shall make the correction on the 
license and return same to the licensee.
    (b) When the Chief, National Licensing Center, finds through any 
means other than notice from the licensee that an incorrect license has 
been issued, the Chief, National Licensing Center, may require the 
holder of the incorrect license to (1) return the license for 
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 
return same to the licensee.
