Sec.  1.96  Granting of authorization to relabel and recondition.

    (a) When authorization contemplated by Sec.  1.95 is granted, the 
district director shall notify the applicant in writing, specifying:
    (1) The procedure to be followed;
    (2) The disposition of the rejected articles or portions thereof;
    (3) That the operations are to be carried out under the supervision 
of an officer of the Food and Drug Administration or the U.S. Customs 
Service, as the case may be;
    (4) A time limit, reasonable in the light of the circumstances, for 
completion of the operations; and
    (5) Such other conditions as are necessary to maintain adequate 
supervision and control over the article.
    (b) Upon receipt of a written request for extension of time to 
complete such operations, containing reasonable grounds therefor, the 
district director may grant such additional time as he deems necessary.
    (c) An authorization may be amended upon a showing of reasonable 
grounds therefor and the filing of an amended application for 
authorization with the district director.
    (d) If ownership of an article covered by an authorization changes 
before the operations specified in the authorization have been 
completed, the original owner will be held responsible, unless the new 
owner has executed a bond and obtained a new authorization. Any 
authorization granted under this section shall supersede and nullify any 
previously granted authorization with respect to the article.
