notify the Assistant Administrator, in writing within 30 days, of any 
change in address or of any change in the trade name for the business or

provisions of a permit for just cause at any time during its term. Such 
amendments take effect on the date of notification, unless otherwise 
specified.
    (d) When any permittee discontinues the permitted activity, the 
permittee shall, within 30 days thereof, mail the permit and a request 
for cancellation to the issuing officer, and the permit shall be deemed 
void upon receipt. No refund of any part of an amount paid as a permit 
fee shall be made when the operations of the permittee are, for any 
reason, discontinued during the tenure of an issued permit.
    (e) Any violation of the applicable provisions of parts 222, 223, or 
224 of this chapter, or of the Act, or of a term or condition of the 
permit may subject the permittee to both the penalties provided in the 
Act and suspension, revocation, or amendment of the permit, as provided 
in subpart D to 15 CFR part 904.
