# §162.10. Summary suspension or revocation of accreditation of veterinarians.


In any situation where the Administrator has reason to believe that any veterinarian accredited under the provisions of parts [160](/cfr/9/part160.md) and [161](/cfr/9/part161.md) of this subchapter has knowingly violated the Animal Health Protection Act ([7 U.S.C. 8301](/usc/7/8301.md) et seq.), the Administrator may summarily suspend the accreditation of such veterinarian pending final determination in either a suspension or revocation proceeding, effective upon oral or written notification, whichever is earlier. In the event of oral notification, a written confirmation thereof shall be given to such veterinarian as promptly as circumstances permit.
