Sec.  385.337  What happens if a new entrant refuses to permit a safety 
audit to be performed on its operations?

    (a) If a new entrant refuses to permit a safety audit to be 
performed on its operations, the FMCSA will provide the carrier with 
written notice that its registration will be revoked and its operations 
placed out of service unless the new entrant agrees in writing, within 
10 days from the service date of the notice, to permit the safety audit 
to be performed. The initial refusal to permit a safety audit to be 
performed may subject the new entrant to the penalty provisions in 49 
U.S.C. 521(b)(2)(A).
    (b) If the new entrant does not agree to undergo a safety audit as 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section, its registration will be 
revoked and its interstate operations placed out of service effective on 
the 11th day from the service date of the notice issued under paragraph 
(a) of this section.
