9 C.F.R. 11.7(g) provides for the revocation of a horse industry organization or association’s (HIO’s) DQP program certification. Specifically, this section states that:

“Any horse industry organization or association having a Department certified DQP program that has not received Department approval of the inspection procedures provided for in paragraph (b)(6) of this section, or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements contained in this part, may have such certification of its DQP program revoked, unless, upon written notification from the Department of such failure to comply with the requirements in this section, such organization or association takes immediate action to rectify such failure and takes appropriate steps to prevent a recurrence of such noncompliance within the time period specified in the Department notification, or otherwise adequately explains such failure to comply to the satisfaction of the Department. Any horse industry organization or association whose DQP program certification has been revoked may appeal such revocation to the Administrator6 in writing within 30 days after the date of such revocation and, if requested, shall be afforded an opportunity for a hearing.7 All DQP licenses issued by a horse industry organization or association whose DQP program certification has been revoked shall expire 30 days after the date of such revocation, or 15 days after the date the revocation becomes final after appeal, unless they are transferred to a horse industry organization or association having a program currently certified by the Department.”

This document summarizes and maps the process for revocation of an HIO’s DQP program certification pursuant to the requirements specified in 9 C.F.R. 11.7(g).
