4.        The operator neglects or refuses to timely provide infor- mation, including reports, and to timely transmit assess- ments required by this Article.

5.        The operator abandons the business facility or fails with- out just cause to open the facility for business at the scheduled hours without prior notice to the BEP.

6.        The operator is convicted of a felony while participating in the program.

7.        The operator no longer meets the qualifications for partic- ipation in the BEP due to:

b.        Change of citizenship from the United States,

The notice shall state the grounds for the action and shall refer to any applicable provision of law, rule or agreement, and it shall advise the operator of the right to appeal.

C.      The revocation of an operator’s license shall not relieve the operator of any business obligations existing as of that date.
