Search 7 U.S.C. § 85 : US Code - Section 85: Suspension, revocation, and refusal to renew licenses; hearing; grounds; temporary suspension
The Secretary may refuse to renew, or may suspend or revoke, any
license issued under this chapter whenever, after the licensee has
been afforded an opportunity for a hearing, the Secretary shall
determine that such licensee is incompetent, or has inspected or
weighed or supervised the weighing of grain for purposes of this
chapter, by any standard or criteria other than as provided for in
this chapter, or has issued, or caused the issuance of, any false
or incorrect official certificate or other official form, or has
knowingly or carelessly inspected or weighed or supervised the
weighing of grain improperly under this chapter, or has accepted
any money or other consideration, directly or indirectly, for any
neglect or improper performance of duty, or has used the license or
allowed it to be used for any improper purpose, or has otherwise
violated any provision of this chapter or of the regulations
prescribed or instructions issued to the licensee by the Secretary
under this chapter. The Secretary may, without first affording the
licensee an opportunity for a hearing, suspend any license
temporarily pending final determination whenever the Secretary
deems such action to be in the best interests of the official
inspection system under this chapter. The Secretary may summarily
revoke any license whenever the licensee has been convicted of any
offense prohibited by section 87b of this title or convicted of any
offense proscribed by title 18, with respect to performance of
functions under this chapter.
