What action may the Board take if the intent of certain health regulations is deemed unserved?

The Board's authority to withdraw authorization is grounded in its commitment to uphold health regulations and ensure public safety. If the intent of certain health regulations is deemed unserved, this indicates a more serious breach or failure to comply with established standards. The action of withdrawing authorization sends a clear and strong message about the importance of adherence to regulations, and it serves to protect the public from potential harm resulting from non-compliance. This measure can also act as a deterrent to other sponsors or organizations, encouraging them to maintain compliance with health requirements.

In contrast, warning a sponsor might not be effective if non-compliance poses a significant risk, and it may fail to convey the gravity of the situation. Modifying the approval duration is more of a temporary solution and does not directly address the underlying issues. Conducting an investigation is certainly an important step, but it does not result in immediate corrective action—withdrawal of the authorization is a decisive measure that reflects the urgency of ensuring regulatory compliance.
