        322A.7  DEPARTMENT OF INSPECTIONS AND APPEALS TO HOLD      HEARING.         Upon receiving an application, the department shall notify the      department of inspections and appeals which shall enter an order      fixing a time, which shall be within ninety days of the date of the      order, and place of hearing, and shall send by certified or      registered mail, with return receipt requested, a copy of the order      to the franchisee whose franchise the franchiser seeks to terminate      or not continue.  If the application requests permission to establish      an additional motor vehicle dealership, a copy of the order shall be      sent to all franchisees in the community who are then engaged in the      business of offering to sell or selling the same line-make.  Copies      of orders shall be addressed to the franchisee at the place where the      business is conducted.  The department of inspections and appeals may      also give notice of the franchiser's application to any other parties      deemed interested persons, the notice to be in the form and substance      and given in the manner the department of inspections and appeals      deems appropriate.         Any person who can show an interest in the application may become      a party to the hearing, whether or not that person receives notice.      However, a party not receiving notice shall be limited to      participation at the hearing on the question of the public interest      in the termination or continuation of the franchise or in the      establishment of an additional motor vehicle dealership.
