Private Radio Bureau, with respect to amateur and commercial radio 
operator licenses, may issue an order suspending the operator license. 
No order of suspension of any operator's license shall take effect until 
15 days' notice in writing of the cause for the proposed suspension has 
been given to the operator licensee, who may make written application to 
the Commission at any time within the said 15 days for a hearing upon 
such order. The notice to the operator licensee shall not be effective 
until actually received by him, and from that time he shall have 15 days 
in which to mail the said application. In the event that physical 
conditions prevent mailing of the application before the expiration of 
the 15-day period, the application shall then be mailed as soon as 
possible thereafter, accompanied by a satisfactory explanation of the 
delay. Upon receipt by the Commission of such application for hearing, 
said order of suspension shall be designated for hearing by the Chief,

conclusion of said hearing, the Commission may affirm, modify, or revoke

operator shall send his operator license to the office of the Commission 
in Washington, DC, on or before the effective date of the order, or, if 
the effective date has passed at the time notice is received, the 
license shall be sent to the Commission forthwith.
