(1) The attorney general shall not include or retain in the directory the name or brand families of any nonparticipating manufacturer that fails to provide the required certification or whose certification the attorney general determines is not in compliance with section 486P-5 unless the attorney general has determined that such violation has been cured to the satisfaction of the attorney general;
(2) Neither a tobacco product manufacturer nor a brand family shall be included or retained in the directory if the attorney general concludes, in the case of a nonparticipating manufacturer, that:
(A) Any escrow payment required pursuant to section 675-3(b)(1) for any period for any brand family, whether or not listed by the nonparticipating manufacturer, has not been fully paid into a qualified escrow fund governed by a qualified escrow agreement that has been approved by the attorney general; or
(B) Any outstanding final judgment, including interest thereon, for a violation of section 675-3(b) has not been fully satisfied by the manufacturer or brand family.

(1) Provide to the attorney general and update as necessary an electronic mail address for the purpose of receiving any notifications hereunder; and
(2) Not later than thirty days after the end of each month, and more frequently if so directed by the attorney general, submit to the attorney general such information as the attorney general requires to facilitate compliance with this chapter, including but not limited to:
