    Whenever the Director of Industry Operations has reason to believe

provisions of Sec. 178.47, he may issue a notice of denial, on Form 
4498, to the applicant. The notice shall set forth the matters of fact 
and law relied upon in determining that the application should be 
denied, and shall afford the applicant 15 days from the date of receipt 
of the notice in which to request a hearing to review the denial. If no 
request for a hearing is filed within such time, the application shall 
be disapproved and a copy, so marked, shall be returned to the 
applicant.
