(3) Upon notification of suspension, revocation, cancellation, reduction or denial of reimbursement or any other sanction, a provider or instructor may have the right to a contested case hearing as provided in the Oregon Administrative Procedures Act under ORS 183.413 to 183.500.

(4) Except as provided for in section (6) of this rule, a request for a hearing must be submitted in writing to, and received by, ODOT-TSO within 20 days of the date of the notice. If a hearing request is received in a timely manner the suspension, revocation or cancellation may not go into effect pending the outcome of the hearing, unless the approval is immediately suspended or cancelled.

(7) If a provider or instructor approval has been revoked, the provider or instructor may reapply after a period of revocation of five years and must meet all the requirements for approval.

(8) If the provider or instructor approval is cancelled, the provider or instructor may reapply when they have met all of the requirements.

(9) At the end of a suspension period, ODOT-TSO will reinstate the provider or instructor approval unless the provider or instructor does not meet the qualification requirements for the approval. If the approval has expired, the provider or instructor must reapply and must meet all the requirements for new certification.
