The grantee may require payment of all anticipated costs as a precondition to temporarily relocating its facilities.
(f) System Maps. A grantee shall maintain accurate "as-built" maps and records of its cable television system. Such maps and records shall be available for inspection during normal business hours at the offices of the grantee.
