Sec.  17.71  Revocation of VA approval.

    (a) If a hearing official determines under Sec.  17.70 of this part 
that a community residential care facility does not comply with the 
standards set forth in Sec.  17.63 of this part and determines that the 
community residential care facility shall not have further time to 
remedy the noncompliance, the hearing official shall revoke approval of 
the community residential care facility and notify the community 
residential care facility of this revocation.
    (b) Upon revocation of VA approval, VA health care personnel shall:
    (1) Cease referring veterans to the community residential care 
facility; and,
    (2) Notify any veteran residing in the community residential care 
facility of the facility's disapproval and request permission to assist 
in the veteran's removal from the facility. If a veteran has a person or 
entity authorized by law to give permission on behalf of the veteran, VA 
health care personnel shall notify that person or entity of the 
community residential care facility's disapproval and request permission 
to assist in removing the veteran from the community residential care 
facility.
    (c) If the hearing official determines that a community residential 
care facility fails to comply with the standards set forth in Sec.  
17.63 of this part and determines that the community residential care 
facility shall have an additional time period to remedy the 
noncompliance, the hearing official shall review at the end of the time 
period the evidence of the community residential care facility's 
compliance with the standards which were to have been met by the end of 
that time period and determine if the community residential care 
facility complies with the standards. If the community residential care 
facility fails to comply with these or any other standards, the 
procedures set forth in Sec. Sec.  17.66-17.71 of this part shall be 
followed.
