4. Definite or indefinite deprivation of the rights to use assorted permits is an additional sanctioning form which may only be applied to cases where agencies, organizations or individuals seriously violate the regulations on the use of assorted permits and to acts of violation for which this sanctioning form is prescribed.
5.
