      (iv) the consequences of failure to take remedial action within the prescribed time frame; and

      (v) notice of the licensee's right to appeal.

    (E) Upon satisfactory completion of the remedial action outlined in the letter of probation, a licensee shall be removed from probation.

The removal letter shall contain the following information:

      (i) specific reasons for removal from the facility;

      (ii) actions required by the manager, if any;

      (iii) requirements for obtaining reassignment; and

      (iv) notice of the manager's right to appeal under the Act.

    (H) If, after the manager has had an opportunity to respond, a decision is made that sufficient grounds exist for termination, the Agency shall notify the manager in writing by hand delivery, e-mail, or certified mail with a return receipt requested that the Agency has decided that sufficient cause exists to terminate the manager's license and the manager must vacate the facility.

      (ii) actions required by the licensee, if any;

  (3) The provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection notwithstanding, pending a determination with respect to administrative action, a manager may be removed from a facility if the Agency considers such removal to be in the best interest of BET and if efforts to correct the deficiencies have been unsuccessful.

  (4) During the license termination process, the manager shall not be eligible for assignment to any other BET facility.

(d) Before termination of a license, the Agency shall afford the licensee an opportunity for a full evidentiary hearing as described in §854.82(e) of this title (relating to Procedures for Resolution of Manager's Dissatisfaction).
