officer, Administrator, or principal stockholder and, in the case of a 
partnership, a partner) is, by reason of the applicant's business 
experience, financial standing, or trade connections, not likely to

implementing regulations; or
    (c) The applicant has failed to disclose any material information 
required, or has made any false statement as to any material fact, in 
connection with his application; or
    (d) The premises on which the applicant proposes to conduct the

He may issue a citation for the contemplated disapproval of the
