   CHAPTER II--DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 
PART 1309_REGISTRATION OF MANUFACTURERS, DISTRIBUTORS, IMPORTERS AND 
EXPORTERS OF LIST I CHEMICALS--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1309.44  Suspension of registration pending final order.

    (a) The Administrator may suspend any registration simultaneously 
with or at any time subsequent to the service upon the registrant of an 
order to show cause why such registration should not be revoked or 
suspended, in any case where he finds that there is an imminent danger 
to the public health or safety. If the Administrator so suspends, he 
shall serve with the order to show cause pursuant to Sec.  1309.46 an 
order of immediate suspension that shall contain a statement of his 
findings regarding the danger to public health or safety.
    (b) Upon service of the order of immediate suspension, the 
registrant shall promptly return his Certificate of Registration to the 
nearest office of the Administration. Also, upon service of the order of 
immediate suspension, the registrant shall, as instructed by the 
Administrator:
    (1) Deliver to the nearest office of the Administration or to 
authorized agents of the Administration all of the particular chemical 
or chemicals in his or her possession that were obtained under the 
authority of a registration or an exemption from registration granted by 
the Administrator by regulation, which are affected by the revocation or 
suspension; or
    (2) Place all of such chemicals under seal as described in section 
304(f) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 824(f)).
    (c) Any suspension shall continue in effect until the conclusion of 
all proceedings upon the revocation or suspension, including any 
judicial review thereof, unless sooner withdrawn by the Administrator or 
dissolved by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any registrant whose 
registration is suspended under this section may request a hearing on 
the revocation or suspension of his registration at a time earlier than 
specified in the order to show cause pursuant to Section 1309.46, which 
request shall be granted by the Administrator, who shall fix a date for 
such hearing as early as reasonably possible.
