(b) the titleholder is unable to obtain the information.
(4) If the Titles Administrator is satisfied (whether or not because of a statement under subregulation (3)) that the titleholder cannot comply with the request because:
(a) the information is not within the titleholder's knowledge; or
(b) the titleholder is unable to obtain the information;
the Titles Administrator must, as soon as practicable, give the titleholder a notice in writing withdrawing the request.
