                       CHAPTER 2--COTTON STANDARDS
 
Sec. 53. Licensing classifiers; revocation and suspension of 
        license
        
    The Secretary of Agriculture may, upon presentation of satisfactory 
evidence of competency, issue to any person a license to grade or 
otherwise classify cotton and to certificate the grade or other class 
thereof in accordance with the official cotton standards of the United 
States. Any such license may be suspended or revoked by the Secretary of 
Agriculture whenever he is satisfied, after reasonable opportunity 
afforded to the licensee for a hearing, that such licensee is 
incompetent or has knowingly or carelessly classified cotton improperly, 
or has violated any provision of this chapter or the regulations 
thereunder so far as the same may relate to him, or has used his license 
or allowed it to be used for any improper purpose. Pending investigation 
the Secretary of Agriculture, whenever he deems necessary, may suspend a 
license temporarily without a hearing.
