    65(b) Where the correction changes, or is reasonably interpreted to change, the substantive outcome of the prior decision, a corrected decision may be distributed/mailed:

    89(i) Within 20 days of the distribution/mailing of the decision to be corrected, by the distribution/mailing of a notice of proposed corrected decision, which shall identify the corrections to be made, and provide for the opportunity of any party to request a hearing on the proposed corrections;
