(1) states that the stop order has been passed;

(2) states the reasons for the stop order; and

(3) informs the applicant or registrant of the right to a hearing under this section.

(b) (1) The applicant or registrant may submit to the Commissioner a written request for a hearing on the stop order.

(3) The Commissioner may schedule a hearing even if the applicant or registrant does not request a hearing.

(3) The Commissioner may modify or vacate a stop order if the Commissioner finds that:

(i) conditions have changed; or

(ii) it is otherwise in the public interest to vacate or modify the stop order.
