§ 270.332 - Suspension and revocation of permit.

Where the regional director (compliance) has reason to believe that a manufacturer of tobacco products has not in good faith complied with the provisions of 26 U.S.C. chapter 52, and regulations thereunder, or with any other provision of 26 U.S.C. with intent to defraud, or has violated any condition of his permit, or has failed to disclose any material information required or made any material false statement in the application for the permit, or has failed to maintain his premises in such manner as to protect the revenue, the regional director (compliance) shall issue an order, stating the facts charged, citing such person to show cause why his permit should not be suspended or revoked. Such citation shall be issued and opportunity for hearing afforded in accordance with part 200 of this chapter, which part is applicable to such proceedings. If the hearing examiner, or on appeal, the Director, decides the permit should be suspended or revoked, the regional director (compliance) shall by order give effect to such decision.
