The letter shall state that if the report is not received before the following Wednesday, the vendor shall be removed from the promotion roster or placed on probation.
(c) If the report is not received by the following Wednesday, 3 weeks after the due date, the vendor shall be removed from the promotion roster and placed on probation for 30 days effective the date of the notice from BVS. BVS will notify the vendor by letter of the aforementioned action, instructing the vendor that he must apply by letter for reinstatement to the promotion roster.
(d) If the reports are not received by the following Wednesday, 4 weeks after the due date, action shall be initiated to remove the vendor from the program. BVS will notify the vendor by letter. The vendor shall also be advised of his right to an appeal from fair hearing.
