Sec. 40.71  Modification and revocation of licenses.

    (a) The terms and conditions of each license shall be subject to 
amendment, revision, or modification by reason of amendments to the Act, 
or by reason of rules, regulations, or orders issued in accordance with 
the Act.
    (b) Any license may be revoked, suspended, or modified, in whole or 
in part, for any material false statement in the application or any 
statement of fact required under section 182 of the Act, or because of 
conditions revealed by such application or statement of fact or any 
report, record, or inspection or other means which would warrant the 
Commission to refuse to grant a license on an original application, or 
for violation of, or failure to observe any of, the terms and conditions 
of the Act, or the license, or of any rule, regulation or order of the 
Commission.
    (c) Except in cases of willfulness or those in which the public 
health, interest or safety requires otherwise, no license shall be 
modified, suspended, or revoked unless, prior to the institution of 
proceedings therefor, facts or conduct which may warrant such action 
shall have been called to the attention of the licensee in writing and 
the licensee shall have been accorded opportunity to demonstrate or 
achieve compliance with all lawful requirements.
