When you enter into a covered transaction with
another person at the next lower tier, you must
verify that the person with whom you intend to do
business is not excluded or disqualified. You do
this by:
(a)
Checking the EPLS; or
(b)
Collecting a certification from that person
if allowed by this rule; or
(c)
Adding a clause or condition to the covered
transaction with that person.
