e) The Department may, after notice and a hearing, revoke or suspend the certificate of registration of any third party for a violation of any provision of the Act, for noncompliance with any provision contained in the Act, or because the Department determines that the third party is ineligible for a certificate of registration for any one or more of the reasons provided for in this Section. The decision whether to suspend or revoke and, if a suspension is in order, the duration of the suspension shall be made by taking into account factors that include but are not limited to, the registrant's previous history of compliance with the Act as of its creation, the number, seriousness, and duration of the violations, and the registrant's cooperation in discontinuing and correcting violations.
