15 C.F.R. § 904.303 Notice of intent to deny permit (NIDP).
Title 15 - Commerce and Foreign Trade
(a) NOAA may issue a NIDP if the permit applicant has been charged with a violation of a statute, regulation, or permit administered by NOAA, for failure to pay a civil penalty or criminal fine, or for failure to comply with any term of a settlement agreement. (b) The NIDP will set forth the basis for its issuance and any opportunity for a hearing, and will be served in accordance with §904.3. (c) NOAA will not refund any fee(s) submitted with a permit application if a NIDP is issued. (d) A NIDP may be issued in conjunction with or independent of a NOPS. Nothing in this section should be interpreted to preclude NOAA from initiating a permit sanction action following issuance of the permit, or from withholding a permit under §904.310(c) or §904.320.
