Sec. 44.92  Investigation of applicant.

    The appropriate ATF officer 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 appropriate ATF officer 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 
appropriate ATF officer finds that the applicant is not entitled to a 
permit, he shall, by order stating the findings on which his decision is 
based, deny the permit.
