Sec. 122.4  Suspension or revocation of permits.

    (a) Any permit for the importation or transportation of organisms or 
vectors issued under this part may be formally suspended or revoked 
after opportunity for hearing has been accorded the permittee, as 
provided in part 123 of this subchapter, if the Secretary finds that the 
permittee has failed to observe the safeguards and instructions 
prescribed by the Administrator with respect to the particular 
importation or transportation or that such importation or transportation 
for any other reason may result in the introduction or dissemination 
from a foreign country into the United States, or from one State, 
Territory or the District of Columbia to another, of the contagion of 
any contagious, infectious or communicable disease of animals (including 
poultry).
    (b) In cases of wilfulness or where the public health, interest or 
safety so requires, however, the Secretary may without hearing 
informally suspend such a permit upon the grounds set forth in paragraph 
(a) of this section, pending determination of formal proceedings under 
part 123 of this subchapter for suspension or revocation of the permit.
