Sec. 68.211  Registration revocation procedures.

    (a) Cause for revocation. The Commission may revoke the Part 68 
registration of a registrant:
    (1) Who has obtained the equipment registration by 
misrepresentation;
    (2) Whose registered equipment is shown to cause harm to the 
network;
    (3) Who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the terms and 
conditions of its Part 68 registration; or
    (4) Who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with any rule, 
regulation or order issued by the Commission under the Communications 
Act of 1934 relating to equipment registration.
    (b) Notice of Intent to Revoke Part 68 Registration. Before revoking 
a Part 68 registration under the provisions of this section, the 
Commission, or the Common Carrier Bureau under delegated authority, will 
issue a written Notice of Intent to Revoke Part 68 Registration, or 
Joint Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture and Intent to Revoke 
Part 68 Registration pursuant to Secs. 1.80 and 1.89 of this chapter.
    (1) Contents of the Notice. The Notice will:
    (i) Identify the registration date(s) and registration number(s) of 
the equipment, and the rule or federal law apparently violated;
    (ii) Set forth the nature of the act or omission charged against the 
registrant, and the facts upon which such charge is based;
    (iii) Specify that in the event of revocation, the registrant may 
not reapply for registration of the same product for a period of six 
months; and
    (iv) Specify that revocation of the registration may be in addition 
to, or in lieu of, an amount in forfeiture levied pursuant to Sec. 1.80 
of this chapter.
    (c) Delivery. The Notice will be sent via certified mail to the 
registrant at the address certified in the Part 68 application 
associated with the registration at issue.
    (d) Response. The registrant will be given a reasonable period of 
time (usually 30 days from the date of the Notice) to show, in writing, 
why its part 68 registration should not be revoked or why the forfeiture 
penalty should not be imposed or should be reduced.
    (e) Reapplication. A registrant whose registration has been revoked 
may not apply for registration of the same product for a period of six 
months from the date of revocation of the registration.
    (f) Reconsideration or appeal. A registrant who is issued a 
revocation of equipment registration and/or forfeiture assessment may 
request reconsideration or make administrative appeal
