(3) The notice required under subsection (2) may be given at any time before the period, if any, within which the holder of the management licence, timber permit, timber sale or timber agreement that is liable to forfeiture or suspension may cure his default or submit a correct return expires or may be given at any time after the period expires provided the date of the hearing is after the expiration of that period. (4) Service of a notice under subsection (2) may be made personally or may be effected by sending it by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the address or the last known address of the licensee, permittee, purchaser or person to be served and in such case shall be deemed to have been made upon the day on which the notice reached the address or in due course of mail should have done so.
