Sec. 71.80  Applications.

    In hearings on the contemplated disapproval of applications there 
may be incorporated in the record sufficient testimony, reports, 
affidavits and other documents to be considered only for the limited 
purpose of establishing probable cause for the issuance of the notice of 
contemplated disapproval by showing that the director of industry 
operations had reason to believe that the applicant is not entitled to a 
permit. The burden of proof shall be upon the applicant to produce 
evidence to show he is entitled to a permit. The director of industry 
operations may, instead of following the aforementioned procedure, 
assume the burden of going forward.
