    (v) Fails to pay grazing fees within established time limits.
    (3) Cancel or suspend the permit if the permittee fails to pay

with provisions and requirements in the grazing permit or the 
regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture on which the permit is 
based.

willfully makes a false statement or representation in the grazing 
application or amendments thereto.

    (6) Cancel or suspend the permit if the permit holder is convicted 
for failing to comply with Federal laws or regulations or State laws 
relating to protection of air, water, soil and vegetation, fish and 
wildlife, and other environmental values when exercising the grazing use 
authorized by the permit.
    (7) Modify the terms and conditions of a permit to conform to 
current situations brought about by changes in law, regulation, 
executive order, development or revision of an allotment management 
plan, or other management needs.
    (8) Modify the seasons of use, numbers, kind, and class of livestock 
allowed or the allotment to be used under the permit, because of 
resource condition, or permittee request. One year's notice will be 
given of such modification, except in cases of emergency.
    (b) Association permits or grazing agreements may be canceled for 
noncompliance with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 
Department of Agriculture regulation promulgated thereunder.
