(1) How does the department maintain a current inventory listing of vessels with undercover or confidential registrations?
(a) The department provides an inventory list of vessels, scheduled to be renewed within the next quarter, to each agency participating in the undercover/confidential vessel registration program. Each government agency verifies the accuracy of the information by:
(i) Correcting any erroneous information;
(ii) Deleting vessels no longer in the program by marking plainly on the list "deleted" next to the vessel that needs to be deleted;
(iii) Signing the inventory list certifying that all undercover and confidential vessels shown on the list are being utilized under RCW
88.02.035(3); and
(iv) Returning the updated inventory list to the department by the date requested.
(b) The department updates the agency inventory based on information submitted by the agencies.
(2) What action does the department take if a government agency fails to return their inventory list? The department may refuse to renew a vessel(s) shown on the quarterly inventory list until the government agency has complied with the requirements of subsection (1) of this section.
