1. Shall not include a brand family in its certification pursuant to NRS 370.665 unless, if the manufacturer is:

(a) A participating manufacturer, the manufacturer affirms that the brand family is to be deemed to be its cigarettes for the purposes of calculating its payments under the Master Settlement Agreement for the relevant year, in the volume and shares determined pursuant to the Master Settlement Agreement; or

(b) A nonparticipating manufacturer, the manufacturer affirms that the brand family is to be deemed to be its cigarettes for the purposes of chapter 370A of NRS.

2. Shall maintain all invoices and documentation of sales, and any other information relied upon by the manufacturer for its certification pursuant to NRS 370.665, for at least 5 years, unless the manufacturer is otherwise required by law to maintain them for a greater period.
