§ 459. Denial or revocation of license or certificate. 1. A license or   certificate, or the renewal thereof may be denied where the commissioner   has   probable  reason  to  believe,  based  on  knowledge  or  reliable   information, or finds, after investigation, that the  applicant  or  any   officer, servant, agent or employee of the applicant is not sufficiently   reliable  and  experienced  to  be  authorized  to  own, possess, store,   transport, use,  manufacture,  deal  in,  sell,  purchase  or  otherwise   handle,  as  the  case  may  be,  explosives,  lacks suitable facilities   therefor, has been convicted of a felony, is disloyal or hostile to  the   United States, has been confined as a patient or incarcerated individual   in  a public or private institution for the treatment of mental diseases   or has been convicted under section  four  hundred  eighty-four  of  the   general  business  law.  Whenever the commissioner denies an application   for a license or certificate or the renewal thereof, within five days of   such denial, notice thereof and the reasons therefor shall  be  provided   in  writing  to  the  applicant.  Such  denial  may  be  appealed to the   commissioner who shall follow the procedure provided by subdivision four   of this section.2. The commissioner may revoke  any  certificate  or  license  on  any   ground  or grounds authorized in subdivision one of this section for the   denial of a license or certificate, or for a violation of the  terms  of   such license or certificate, or for a violation of any provision of this   article or regulations promulgated hereunder, or for non-compliance with   any  order  issued by the commissioner within the time specified in such   order.The commissioner may, where he or she has probable reason to  believe,   based   on  knowledge  or  reliable  information,  that  a  licensee  or   certificate holder is disloyal to the United  States,  summarily  revoke   the  license  or  certificate  or  may give such licensee or certificate   holder notice and opportunity to be heard  as  provided  in  subdivision   four  of  this  section.  Revocation of a license or certificate for any   other ground may be ordered only after  giving  written  notice  and  an   opportunity to be heard to the holder thereof. Such notice shall specify   the  ground  or grounds on which it is proposed to revoke the license or   certificate. When a license or certificate is revoked, the  commissioner   may  direct  the  seizure  and/or disposition of explosives held by such   licensee  or  certificate  holder.  Upon  revocation  of  a  license  or   certificate  by the commissioner, the holder thereof shall surrender the   license or certificate to the commissioner at once.3. The commissioner may summarily suspend the license  or  certificate   pending  proceedings for revocation or other action, where he or she has   reason to believe, based on knowledge or reliable information, that  the   continued  possession  of  a  license  or  certificate poses a danger to   public health, safety or welfare, and incorporates  a  finding  to  that   effect  in  his  or  her  order.  These  proceedings  shall  be promptly   instituted and determined. Such suspension shall  be  effective  on  the   date  specified in the order or upon service of a certified copy of such   order on the license or certificate holder, whichever shall be later.4. Unless, within fifteen days from the date of notice, the  applicant   for  a  license or certificate or the recipient of a notice stating that   the commissioner proposes to revoke a license or certificate held by him   or her, shall file a written answer with the  commissioner  denying  the   ground  or  grounds on which a license or certificate has been denied or   not renewed or ground or grounds on which revocation  of  a  license  or   certificate is sought, and shall request a hearing, the commissioner may   make  a  final determination respecting the application for a license or   certificate, or may revoke  a  license  or  certificate  forthwith.  If,   within  such fifteen days, the applicant, licensee or certificate holder    files such answer  and  request  for  hearing,  the  commissioner  shall   schedule  a  hearing. The notice of hearing shall state the time, place,   and subject of the hearing,  and  shall  be  mailed  to  the  applicant,   certificate holder or licensee at his or her last known address at least   five  days  before  the  date  of hearing. Hearings shall be held by the   commissioner  or  his  or  her  representative,   and   the   applicant,   certificate   holder  or  licensee  may  appear  in  person  or  may  be   represented by an agent. After  such  hearing,  the  commissioner  shall   render a decision in writing.
