   (2)  The authority of the manufacturer to receive and to attach insignia of certification to industrialized housing, housing components, industrialized building or building components following a determination by the agency that the manufacturer is possibly failing in any material respect to conform with its approved building system documentation or to meet its responsibilities under the approved compliance assurance program or that the manufacturer is in violation in any material respect of the act or this title.

 (b)  Notice of intent to revoke must be in writing and shall be delivered by hand to an officer of the manufacturer or by certified mail to the principal office of the manufacturer. The notice must set forth the reasons for the intent to revoke. If the notice of intent is issued by a third-party agency, the third-party agency shall immediately inform the Department by telephone of the notice and shall promptly send to the Department a copy of the notice. Not less than 15 days but not more than 30 days shall be given to a manufacturer to correct the violations in the notice of intent to revoke.
