The proposed change appears to have good intentions and the author has identified examples of situations where it seems as though appropriate records are not being kep. However, my interpretation of the existing regulations is that most of the records indicated in the proposed revision are already required according to §3.2-6557 and §3.2-6557. I think the regulation could benefit by adding a requirement to keep records of the "reasonable effort...made to identify and notify the owner" as required in §3.2-6546. Also, it appears that more oversight/enforcement is needed, both by public interest groups and the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
