prorated fleet during the period for which it is registered or identi-

it is registered or identified of such withdrawal and shall return the
plates, and registration card or identification as may be required by
or pursuant to the laws of the respective states.

within the statutory authority of such administrator, make any in-
formation obtained upon an audit of records of any applicant for
proration of registration available to the administrators of the other
contracting states.
(j) Errors in Registration. If it is determined by the adminis-
trator of a contracting state, as a result of such audits or otherwise,
that an improper fee has been paid his state, or errors in registration
found, the administrator may require the fleet owner to make the
necessary corrections in the registration of his fleet and payment
of fees.
