     Register or the Administrator's Safety Hotline, that reflects 
     on an individual's ability to safely operate a covered 
     aircraft under the third-class medical certificate exemption 
     in subsection (a), the Administrator may require the

     or urgent information received under paragraph (1) to request 
     an individual to provide additional information or to take
