seven (7) days of financial insolvency, dissolution, the demise of its

    (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

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.
