that the licensee is not in compliance with the requirements of the Act,

    (b) The licensee shall notify the Assistant Administrator within 
seven (7) days of financial insolvency, dissolution, the demise of its 
system or of its decision to discontinue system operation. Upon 
notification, the Assistant Administrator will terminate the license.

with regard to provisions in its license, requiring the licensee to:
    (1) Provide data to the Archive for the basic data set;
    (2) Make data available to the Archive that the licensee intends to 
purge from its holdings;
    (3) Make data available to a sensed state; and
    (4) Restrict acquisition and dissemination of imagery as imposed by 
the license or by the Secretary of Commerce; and
    (5) Manage the re-entry segment, including but not limited to, the 
disposal of the system.
