(2) requiring appropriate land reclamation as a condition of use, and requiring performance bonds or other security guaranteeing such reclamation in a timely manner from any person permitted to engage in an extractive or other activity likely to entail significant dis

turbance to or alteration of the national resource lands;

(3) inserting in permits, licenses, leases, or other authorizations to use, occupy, or develop the national resource lands, provisions authorizing revocation or suspension, after notice and hearing, of such permits, licenses, leases, or other authorizations, upon final administrative finding of a violation of any regulations issued by the Secretary under any Act applicable to the national resource lands or upon final administrative find
