(a) The Bureau Director may suspend any registration simultaneously with or at any time subsequent to the service upon the registration of an order to show cause why such registration should not be revoked or suspended, in any case where he or she finds there is an imminent danger to the public health or safety. If the Bureau Director so suspends, he or she shall serve with the order to show cause pursuant to § 309 an order of immediate suspension, which shall contain a statement of his or her findings regarding the danger in public health or safety.

(b) Upon service of the order of immediate suspension, the registrant shall promptly return his or her Certificate of Registration and any order forms in his or her possession to the office of the Bureau of Drug Control. The suspension of any registration under this section shall suspend any quota fixed for the registrant. Also, upon service of the order of the Bureau Director immediately suspending registration, the registrant shall, as instructed by the Bureau Director:

(1) Deliver all affected controlled substances in his or her possession to the office of the Bureau of Drug Control or to authorized agents of the Bureau of Drug Control; or

(2) Place all of such substances under seal as described in the Act.

(c) Any suspension shall continue in effect until the conclusion of all proceedings upon the revocation or suspension, including any judicial review thereof, unless sooner withdrawn by the Bureau Director or dissolved by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any registrant whose registration is suspended under this section may request a hearing on the revocation or suspension of his or her registration at a time earlier than specified in the order to show cause pursuant to § 309, which request shall be granted by the Bureau Director, who shall fix a date for such hearing as early as reasonably possible.
