No. They can't. They can continue to comment until all comments are satisfied.
Yes they can if there is already an existing FINRA Notice of Deficiency that was never taken care of and a SEC restriction on corporate actions because of GVSI's continued violation of FINRA Rule 6490.
FINRA initially declined to process the Company's Corporate Actions on June 21, 2019 by delivering a Notice of Deficiency Pursuant to FINRA Rule 6490
Sharp has already stated that he was unable to get the financials audited.
I had hope to start $GVSI as an SEC reporter, but after over a year of having two accounting firms work on it & discussions with the SEC, I begrudgingly agreed that I would not be able to get the books audited. https://t.co/tOP9FImksT

The DOP made no finding that the documentation GVSI submitted was in any way deficient. See Certified Record Tab 18 FINRA Deficiency Notice dated June 25, 2019. Yet on June 25, 2019, DOP refused GVSI’s application by providing GVSI with a deficiency notice. (Id.) In refusing to grant GVSI’s application, DOP stated its denial was based on a finding that GVSI had not completed certain periodic filings prior to filing its Form 15 on July 10, 2013
FINRA's denial under Rule 6490 of the Company's requested corporate actions of a change of corporate name, symbol request and a reverse stock exchange pursuant to a merger on a one for twenty-thousand (I :20,000) basis (the "Corporate Actions").
FINRA initially declined to process the Company's Corporate Actions on June 21, 2019 by delivering a Notice of Deficiency Pursuant to FINRA Rule 6490.
As stated in the SEC document above, the SEC declined GVSI's corporate actions. GVSI then appealed the decision on the SEC/FINRA declined corporate actions:
On March 20, 2019 (18 months ago), Applicant, Allied Corp. (previously Good Vibration Shoes, Inc.) ("GVSI"), submitted an application to FINRA to complete a name change, obtain a new symbol, and conduct a reverse stock exchange pursuant to a merger, pursuant to FINRA Rule 6490. After months and months of delays, FINRA determined the application was deficient on June 21, 2019. Applicant filed an appeal to the Uniform Practice Committee of FINRA (the “Committee”) on June 27, 2019. On August 16, 2019...the Committee affirmed FINRA’s determination.
The SEC/FINRA affirmed declining the change in GVSI's corporate actions so GVSI withdrew the appeal on the restriction so the SEC/FINRA dismissed the case which means the restriction on corporate actions are still in place.
"So in the end, the SEC remanded the proceeding to FINRA to determine the status of the individuals in question, and to determine whether denying the name change was necessary for the “protection of investors and the public interest."
"The Commission believes that the proposed factors are reasonably designed to allow FINRA to deny a request to process a Company Related Action based on the above-noted objective criteria"
"It can scrutinize corporate action requests, and deny them in some circumstances."
