§4014 Reporting requirement; amendment of certificate; revocation

Summary

If you have a certificate of review, you must quickly tell the Secretary about any important change that affects what the certificate covers. You can ask the Secretary to change the certificate to show how the change affects your covered activities. A request to change the certificate is handled like a new application, and the change becomes effective on the day you submit that request. If the Secretary or the Attorney General thinks your export trade or how you run it no longer meets the required standards, they can ask you for information. Not answering that request can lead to losing the certificate. If they find noncompliance or you failed to respond, they will send a written notice with reasons. Then, in the 60-day period that starts 30 days after that notice, the Secretary will either revoke the certificate or change it so it only covers parts that meet the standards. The Attorney General and the Assistant Attorney General may investigate like other justice department probes, but they may not issue a civil investigative demand to a certificate holder who is the target of the investigation.
