1. (2) Corrective action includes the following:

   1. (A) Resubmittal of part or all of a previously approved stewardship plan, within 30 days of the date of written notification that includes a description of the failure or failures of the dealer cooperative to comply with any applicable requirement of the Act or this chapter by the department, demonstrating the corrections have been addressed. The department shall review and approve or disapprove a resubmitted stewardship plan, or part of a stewardship plan, in accordance with section 2376.
   2. (B) Additional reporting of any of the components listed in section 2381 to verify compliance with any applicable provision of the Act or this chapter.
2. (b) A dealer cooperative failing to comply with a corrective action required pursuant to subdivision (a) or failing to implement the information specified in the dealer cooperative's approved stewardship plan pursuant to sections 2375.4 and 2375.6 constitutes grounds for the department to revoke part or all of the dealer cooperative's previously approved stewardship plan. Revoking the entirety of a previously approved stewardship plan shall include revoking the dealer cooperative registration number.
3. (c) Prior to the department's action pursuant to subdivision (b), the department shall issue a written notice to the dealer cooperative.
4. (d) A dealer cooperative may submit to the department a request for a hearing to contest the proposed action within 15 days of receipt of the notice issued pursuant to subdivision (c). A hearing request under this section shall be submitted electronically in writing to an email address that the department specifies in the notice and shall state the basis for objecting to the department's proposed action. This requirement constitutes an express exception to title 14, California Code of Regulations, section 17063.4, which also allows mailing, and provides an alternative procedure requiring submission by email only. A conforming request for hearing causes a hearing to be undertaken.
5. (e) A hearing undertaken pursuant to subdivision (d) shall be conducted pursuant to the department's hearing regulations (Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Sections 17063.1-17063.32). The hearing shall be held before the Director or the Director's designee.
