officer, director, or principal stockholder, and, in the case of a 
partnership, a partner) is, by reason of their business experience, 
financial standing, or trade connections, not likely to maintain 
operations in compliance with 26 U.S.C. Chapter 51, or regulations 
issued under this part;
    (c) The applicant has failed to disclose any material information 
required, or has made any false statement as to any material fact, in 
connection with their application; or
    (d) The premises at which the applicant proposes to conduct the 
business are not adequate to protect the revenue.
