inspector performing the inspection. The inspector of record entering his
unique identifier is responsible for the inspection of all required items of
inspection, must enter all information into the electronic station interface
device at the time of inspection, and must complete other documents as
required.

may not give, share, lend, or divulge this unique identifier protocol
including, but not limited to, passwords, protocols, or personal identification
numbers (PIN) to another person. Failure to comply with this section may result
