Section 27.18 - Certificate: Reinstatement after Suspension

(1) Any certificatee whose certificate has been suspended may make written application to the Department for the reinstatement of his or her certificate.

(2) When the certificate suspension has been due to a violation of any of the bacterial, DMSCC and anti-biotic, or cooling temperature standards, the Department shall, after notification by a producer-applicant, or after laboratory results have been received, reinstate the certificate after determining by an inspection of the facilities and operating methods that the conditions responsible for the violations have been corrected. This inspection may be conducted by the Department.

(3) Whenever the certificate suspension has been due to violation of a requirement other than bacteriological, DMSCC and antibiotic or cooling temperature standards, the application shall indicate that the violation(s) has been corrected. Within one week of the receipt of such application, the Department shall cause an inspection of the applicant's establishment to take place, and as many additional inspections thereafter as are deemed necessary, to determine that the applicant's establishment is in compliance with 330 CMR 27.07 and/or 27.08. These inspections may be conducted by the Department. When the findings justify, the Department shall reinstate the certificate.
