# §800.175. Termination of licenses.

- (a) **Term of license.** Each license shall terminate in accordance with the termination date shown on the license and as specified in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section. The termination date for a license shall be no less than 5 years or more than 6 years after the issuance date for the initial license; thereafter, every 5 years. Upon request of a licensee and for good cause shown, the termination date may be advanced or delayed by the Administrator for a period not to exceed 60 days.
- (b) **Termination schedule for licenses.** Subject to the provisions of [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, licenses shall terminate on the last day of the month shown in the following schedule:
- (c) **Termination notices.** The Service shall issue notice of termination to licensees and to their employers at least 60 days before the termination date. The notice shall (1) provide detailed instructions for requesting renewal of licenses; (2) state whether a reexamination will be required; and (3) if a reexamination will be required, show the nature and scope of the reexamination. Failure to receive a notice from the Service shall not exempt a licensee from the responsibility of having the license renewed on or before the termination date.
- (d) **Renewal of licenses.** Licenses that are renewed shall show the permanent license number, the date of renewal, and the word “Renewed.”
- (e) **Termination of suspended licenses.** Any suspension of a license, including voluntary suspension or suspension by change in employment, shall not affect the termination date of the license. If a licensee applies for renewal of the license prior to the termination date, the license will not terminate during the period of suspension.
- (f) **Surrender of license.** Each license that is terminated, suspended, or canceled under the provisions of [§§ 800.175 through 800.178](/cfr/7/800.175..800.178.md) or is suspended, revoked, or not renewed for cause under the provisions of [§ 800.179](/cfr/7/800.179.md) shall be promptly surrendered to the field office.
- (g) **Marking terminated, canceled, or revoked licenses.** Each terminated, canceled, or revoked license surrendered to the Service shall be marked “Canceled.”

# §800.176. Voluntary cancellation or suspension of licenses.


Upon request by a licensee, the Service may cancel a license or suspend a license for a period of time not to exceed 1 year. A license that has been voluntarily suspended shall be returned by the Service upon request by the licensee within 1 year, subject to the provisions of [§ 800.172](/cfr/7/800.172.md); a license that has been cancelled shall be considered void and shall not be subject to return or renewal.


# §800.177. Automatic suspension of license by change in employment.


A license issued to an individual who is employed by an agency shall be automatically suspended when the individual ceases to be employed by the agency. If the individual is reemployed by the agency or employed by another agency within 1 year of the suspension date and the license has not terminated in the interim, upon request of the licensee, the license will be reinstated subject to the provisions of §§ [800.172](/cfr/7/800.172.md) and [800.173](/cfr/7/800.173.md).


# §800.178. Summary revocation of licenses.


Licenses may be summarily revoked upon a finding that the licensee has been convicted of any offense either prohibited by section 13 of the Act or prohibited by [Title 18](/cfr/18.md) of the United States Code, with respect to the performance of services under the Act.
