All requests shall be in writing and shall contain facts or reasons supporting the request.

(2)  If the department decides the request is not justified, the department shall send the requester a brief written response giving a reason for the decision. Denials of requests for modification, revocation and reissuance, or revocation or denial are not subject to public notice, comment, or hearings.

(3)  

(a) If the department tentatively decides to modify or revoke and reissue a license under s. NR 670.041 or 670.042 (3) , the department shall prepare a preliminary determination under s.

During any revocation and reissuance proceeding the licensee shall comply with all conditions of the existing license until a new final license is reissued.
