 (2A) The information about passengers or crew that is to be reported by a system must be about:
 (a) if the system is for reporting on passengers—passengers individually; or
 (b) if the system is for reporting on crew—members of the crew individually; or
 (c) if the system is for reporting on both passengers and crew—passengers individually and members of the crew individually.
