Sec. 55.72  Denial of initial application.

    Whenever the regional director (compliance) has reason to believe 
that an applicant for an original license or permit is not eligible to 
receive a license or permit under the provisions of Sec. 55.49, he shall 
issue a notice of denial on ATF F 5400.11. The notice will set forth the 
matters of fact and law relied upon in determining that the application 
should be denied, and will 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 that time, a copy of 
the application, marked ``Disapproved'', will be returned to the 
applicant.
