The hearing shall be held not less than 10 days after the written notice. Said notice shall contain the date, hour and place of same and a brief recital of the grounds for the revocation.

(b) Order of revocation.—Every revocation of a license and its effective date shall be established through a written order, together with the issues of law, and a copy of the latter shall be sent to the concessionaire. Said order, findings of fact and issues of law and the evidence considered by the Commissioner, shall be filed in the public records of the Office of the Commissioner.

(c) Temporary suspension of license.—If the Commissioner finds that there is probable cause for the revocation of any license he may suspend the license temporarily for a period of time not exceeding 20 days after due notice and hearing while the proper investigation is conducted.

(d) Waiver of license.—Any concessionaire may relinquish a license through a written notice to the Commissioner.
