Sec. 354.21  Suspension of license; revocation.



    Pending final action by the Secretary, any person authorized to 

countersign a license to perform inspection service may, whenever he 

deems such action necessary to assure that any inspection service is 

properly performed, suspend any license to perform inspection service 

issued pursuant to this part, by giving notice of such suspension to the 

respective licensee, accompanied by a statement of the reasons therefor. 

Within 7 days after the receipt of the aforesaid notice and statement of 

reasons, the licensee may file an appeal in writing, with the Secretary, 

supported by any argument or evidence that he may wish to offer as to 

why his license should not be further suspended or revoked. After the 

expiration of the aforesaid 7-day period and consideration of such 

argument and evidence, the Secretary will take such action as he deems 

appropriate with respect to such suspension or revocation. When no 

appeal is filed within the prescribed 7 days, the license to perform 

inspection service is revoked.
