    The regional director (compliance) shall promptly cause such inquiry 
or investigation to be made, as he deems necessary, to verify the 
information furnished in connection with an application for permit and 
to ascertain whether the applicant is, by reason of his business 
experience, financial standing, and trade connections, likely to 
maintain operations in compliance with 26 U.S.C. chapter 52, and 
regulations thereunder; whether such person has disclosed all material 
information required or made any material false statement in the 
application for such permit; and whether the premises on which it is 
proposed to establish the export warehouse are adequate to protect the 
revenue. If the regional director (compliance) has reason to believe 
that the applicant is not entitled to a permit, he shall promptly give 
the applicant notice of the contemplated disapproval of his application 
and opportunity for hearing thereon in accordance with part 71 of this 
chapter, which part (including the provisions relating to the 
recommended decision and to appeals) is made applicable to such 
proceedings. If, after such notice and opportunity for hearing, the 
regional director (compliance) finds that the applicant is not entitled 
to a permit, he shall, by order stating the findings on
