      (1)   The reason for the revocation;
      (2)   That the permit holder has a right to request a hearing for any just cause; and

The hearing officer shall notify the permit holder of the findings, in writing, and of the immediate revocation if there is sufficient grounds for revocation.
   (d)   Upon receipt of notice of revocation and the expiration of the twenty days without filing a request for a hearing or after notice of revocation from the hearing officer, the permit holder shall surrender the permit.
