 provides that such violation or noncompliance shall result in the revocation of

 tion; but it is understood that the statute under which this permit is issued 

 provides 



that any permission given by the Secretary of the Interior (Agriculture) 

 under the provisions of this act may be revoked by him or by his suc- 

 cessor in his discretion. 



No revocation, however, of this permit either in whole or in part will be made 

 until after due notice thereof has been served upon the permittee, and until 

 after the permittee shall have been given a reasonable time, not to exceed ninety

 are situated the decree, execution of judgment, will, proposed contract of sale, 

 or other written instrument upon which the proposed transfer is based, or a 

 properly certified copy thereof; also an application by the proposed transferee 

 in the form of a stipulation, binding the proposed transferee to the perform- 

 ance of such new and additional conditons expressed therein as the Secretary

 however, to such new and additional conditions as shall have been embodied 

 in such stipulation and so approved. 



ART. 5. Any power project, permission to construct which is granted by this 

 permit, or any part of such project, may be abandoned by the permittee upon

 of such power project, or part thereof so abandoned, and after the fulfillment 

 by the permittee of all obligations under the aforesaid stipulation, in respect 

 to payment, or otherwise, existing at the time of such approval. 



ART. 6. Upon the voluntary abandonment of the occupancy and use of 

 National Forest lands, as authorized by this permit (except as provided for

 such as reservoirs, dams, and operating mechanism, water conduits and oper- 

 ating mechanism, power houses, and other buildings shall become and remain

 permit, the provisions of this article shall apply only to such parts of said 

 project works as are affected by such revocation or abandonment. The me- 

 chanical equipment of power houses shall remain the property of the permittee,
