    (2) The movement is consistent with the specific conditions 
contained in the permit.
    (b) The Deputy Administrator will issue a written permit for the 
movement of a noxious weed into or through the United States, or 
interstate, if application is made for such movement and if the Deputy 
Administrator determines that such movement, under conditions specified 
in the permit, would not involve a danger of dissemination of the 
noxious weed in the United States, or interstate; otherwise such a 
permit will not be issued.
    (c) All such permits issued shall contain in written form in the 
permit any conditions (other than those conditions specified in this 
part) under which the permit is to be granted, e.g. conditions with 
respect to shipment, storage, and destruction.
    (d) If the permit is denied, the applicant shall be furnished the 
reasons therefor.
    (e) The Deputy Administrator may revoke any outstanding permit 
issued under this section, and may deny future permit applications, if 
the Deputy Administrator determines that the issuee has failed to comply 
with any provision of the Act or this section, including conditions of 
any permit issued. Upon request, any permit holder will be afforded an 
opportunity for a hearing with respect to the merits or validity of any 
such revocation involving his or her permit.
