The notification will grant permission to print forms or express the reasons for refusal to grant permission.
   5. (E) The Agency may suspend permission to print forms at any time for failure to comply with this section or failure to maintain compliance with form specifications.
3. (3) Nonstandard form. When labels or any other medium are affixed to areas other than the return address or collateral description on the face of a standard form or additional pages are attached to the prescribed form or when any other form is used, the form will be subject to the nonstandard form filing fee.
