Sec.  555.72  Denial of initial application.

    Whenever the regional director (compliance) has reason to believe 
that an applicant for an original license or permit is not eligible to 
receive a license or permit under the provisions of Sec.  555.49, he 
shall issue a notice of denial on ATF F 5400.11. The notice will set 
forth the matters of fact and law relied upon in determining that the 
application should be denied, and will afford the applicant 15 days from 
the date of receipt of the notice in which to request a hearing to 
review the denial. If no request for a hearing is filed within that 
time, a copy of the application, marked ``Disapproved'', will be 
returned to the applicant.
