  cost and source of money involved in the change, duly verified, shall be
  filed  with  the authority within ten days after such change. Failure to

  license.
    5.  In  giving  any  notice,  or  taking  any action in reference to a
  licensee of a  licensed  premises,  the  authority  may  rely  upon  the
  information  furnished  in  such  application  and  in  any supplemental
  statement connected therewith, and such information may be  presumed  to
  be correct, and shall be binding upon a licensee or licensed premises as
  if   correct.    All  information  required  to  be  furnished  in  such
  application or supplemental statements shall be deemed material  in  any
  prosecution for perjury, any proceeding to revoke, cancel or suspend any

  license,  and  in  the  authority's determination to approve or deny the
  license.

  waiver of paragraph (f) of subdivision one  of  this  section  shall  be
  made.
    7.  The  authority  may,  by  rule,  adopt  additional  categories  of
  information  which  may  be  reasonably  necessary  to  carry  out   the
  provisions of this section.
