(3) A show cause notice may state that the authority or permission is suspended if the Secretary reasonably considers that the holder of the authority or permission has committed a breach of the terms of the authority or permission, or of an applicable State or Territory law, that is sufficiently serious to justify suspending the authority or permission.
