    The right to conduct exploration under notices of intent and oil and

notice, by the authorized officer and upon a final administrative 

finding of a violation of any term or condition of the instrument, 

including, but not limited to, terms and conditions requiring compliance 

with regulations issued under Acts applicable to the public lands and 

applicable State air and water quality standards or implementation 

plans. The Secretary may order an immediate temporary suspension of

a hearing or final administrative finding if he/she determines that such 

a suspension is necessary to protect health or safety or the 

environment. Further, where other applicable law contains specific 

provisions for suspension, revocation, or cancellation of a permit or 

other authorization to use, occupy, or develop the public lands, the 

specific provisions of such law shall prevail.
