42 U.S.C. § 263a–4 — Certification revocation and suspension

(a) A certification issued by a State or an accreditation organization for an embryo laboratory must be revoked or suspended if the State or organization finds, based on inspections and after reasonable notice and an opportunity for a hearing for the laboratory's owner or operator, that the owner, operator, or any employee of the laboratory has been guilty of misrepresentation in obtaining the certification, has failed to comply with any standard under section 263a–2 of this title that applies to the certification, or has refused a request by the State or accreditation organization for permission to inspect the laboratory, its operations, and its records. (b) If an embryo laboratory's certification is revoked or suspended, it continues in effect for 60 days after the laboratory receives notice of the revocation or suspension. The laboratory may apply for recertification starting one year after the date of the revocation or suspension.
