• Provide a better understanding of the grounds on which an authorization application can be denied, or a previously issued authorization can be revoked, by providing clear grounds for denying or revoking a PSYPACT authorization.
• Expand the appeals process to cover denials and revocations separately for clarity.
• Revise the numbering of the entire rule to align the new additions better.
