Sec.  71.80  Applications.

    In hearings on the contemplated disapproval of applications there 
may be incorporated in the record sufficient testimony, reports, 
affidavits and other documents to be considered only for the limited 
purpose of establishing probable cause for the issuance of the notice of 
contemplated disapproval by showing that the appropriate TTB officer had 
reason to believe that the applicant is not entitled to a permit. The 
burden of proof shall be upon the applicant to produce evidence to show 
he is entitled to a permit. The appropriate TTB officer may, instead of 
following the aforementioned procedure, assume the burden of going 
forward.
