Whenever the Commission determines to refuse to issue or suspend a seal or deny plan or compliance assurance approval for a manufacturer or becomes aware of the existence of a defect or imminent safety hazard, it shall send to the manufacturer, by either registered or certified mail, a notice setting forth the particular reasons for the actions. Such notice shall state that the refusal of issuance, suspension, or denial shall become final fifteen (15) working days after the receipt of the notice, unless the manufacturer within such fifteen working day period, shall give written notice to the Commission of the desire for a formal hearing. The Commission shall then schedule a formal hearing to be held before the Commission such act of scheduling to be performed within twenty (20) working days of the receipt of the request and such hearing to be held within sixty (60) working days of the receipt of the request. No seals shall be sent by the Commission to the manufacturer during this period of time before the hearing. Resumption of transmittal of seals shall depend upon the results of the hearing.
Any hearings held before the Commission shall be governed by the Rules of Commission Procedure as codified by state law and Nebraska Administrative Code, Title 291, Chapter 1.
