1. (a) The commission, acting upon its own motion or the complaint of any person, may revoke its approval of any contract compliance program made pursuant to Section 46a-68k-4 if:

   3. (3) an agency's performance is found deficient by the commission in accordance with Section 46a-68k-7; or (4) an agency fails to accept or implement the commission's recommendations issued as part of an annual review conducted under Section 46a-68k-7.
2. (b) A petition to revoke approval of an approved contract compliance program shall be filed under oath in writing and shall state what subdivision or subdivisions of Section 46a-68k-8 (a) are alleged to have been violated, together with a statement of the facts and circumstances upon which the charged violations are based. The commission shall serve a copy of the petition upon the agency by registered mail within ten (10) days of its vote to initiate revocation proceedings or within ten (10) days of its receipt of a petition; as the case may be.
3. (c) The agency shall file an answer to the petition within fifteen (15) days of the date it is mailed by the commission. The answer shall contain a detailed response to the allegations of the petition and shall be accompanied by such information as appropriate to rebut the charges.

In accordance with Section 46a-54 (9) of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended by Section 2 of Public Act 89-332, the commission may hold a hearing, if necessary, on the question. If the evidence indicates that the agency's contract compliance program is not at least equivalent to the requirements and responsibilities of Sections 4a-60, as amended by Section 2 of Public Act 89-253; 46a-68c, as amended by Section 3 of Public Act 89-253; 46a-68d, as amended by Section 4 of Public Act 89-253; 46a-68e and 46a-68f of the Connecticut General Statutes, the commission may revoke its approval of the program by the affirmative vote of a majority of its members present and voting.
