Citation (Licensing)

Definition: A regulatory notice identifying an alleged violation and a prescribed penalty through an authorized citation procedure.

Example

A licensee receives a citation for a violation listed in the applicable FREC citation rule.

Keep the distinction clear

A citation differs from a notice of noncompliance and from a full administrative complaint. The recipient's response and hearing rights follow the applicable statute and rule.
