register settings that were made in the preceding month.

by the board.
30170. The board may suspend without prior notice a distributor's
privilege to purchase stamps or meter register settings on the
deferred-payment basis or may reduce the amount of permissible
deferred-payment purchases fixed for the distributor, if the
distributor fails to promptly pay for stamps or meter register
settings when payment is due, if the bond or bonds of the distrbutor
are canceled, become void, impaired, or unenforceable for any reason,
or if in the opinion of the board, collection of any amounts unpaid
or due from the distributor under this part are jeopardized.
30171. Any distributor who fails to pay any amount owing for the
purchase of stamps or meter register settings within the time
required, shall pay a penalty of 10 percent of the amount due in
