Sec. 301.48-8  Compliance agreements and cancellation.

    (a) Any person engaged in the business of moving regulated articles 
may enter into a compliance agreement to facilitate the movement of such 
articles under this subpart. Any person who enters into a compliance 
agreement, and employees or agents of that person, must allow an 
inspector access to all records regarding treatment of aircraft and to 
all areas where loading, unloading, and treatment of aircraft occurs.
    (b) A compliance agreement may be canceled by an inspector, orally 
or in writing, whenever he or she determines that the person who has 
entered into the compliance agreement has failed to comply with the 
agreement or this subpart. If the cancellation is oral, the cancellation 
and the reasons for the cancellation will be confirmed in writing within 
20 days of oral notification. Any person whose compliance agreement has 
been canceled may appeal the decision, in writing, to the Administrator 
within 10 days after receiving written notification of the cancellation. 
The appeal must state all of the facts and reasons upon which the person 
relies to show that the compliance agreement was wrongfully canceled. A 
hearing will be held to resolve any conflict as to any material fact. 
The Administrator shall adopt rules of practice for the hearing. An 
appeal shall be granted or denied, in writing, as promptly as 
circumstances allow, and the reasons for the decision shall be stated. 
The compliance agreement will remain canceled pending the decision on 
the appeal.
