Sec. 55.75  Hearing after denial of renewal application or revocation of license or permit.

    If a licensee or permittee whose renewal application has been denied 
or whose license or permit has been revoked desires a hearing, he shall

the case of the revocation of a license or permit, he may include a 
request for a stay of the effective date of the revocation. On receipt 
of the request the regional director (compliance) shall advise the 
licensee or permittee whether the stay of the effective date of the

revocation is granted, the regional director (compliance) shall

refer the matter to an administrative law judge who shall set a time and 
place (see Sec. 55.77) for a hearing and shall serve notice of the 
hearing upon the licensee or permittee and the regional director 
(compliance) at least 10 days in advance of the hearing date. If the 
stay of the effective date of the revocation is denied, the licensee or 
permittee may request an immediate hearing. In this event, the regional 
director (compliance) shall immediately refer the matter to an 
administrative law judge who shall set a date and place for a hearing, 
which date shall be no later than 10 days from the date the licensee or 
permittee requested an immediate hearing. The hearing will be held in 
accordance with the applicable provisions of part 71 of this chapter. 
Within a reasonable time after the conclusion of the hearing, and as 
expeditiously as possible, the administrative law judge shall render his 
decision. He shall certify to the complete record of the proceeding 
before him and shall immediately forward the complete certified record, 
together with two copies of his decision, to the regional director 
(compliance), serve one copy of his decision on the licensee or 
permittee or his counsel, and transmit a copy to the attorney for the 
Government.
