1. Former Sea-based OWWA or POEA-accredited providers who were not able to re-register with OWWA shall re-apply for accreditation as providers until 31 July 2008. Providers who fail to meet this extended registration date shall be de-listed.

2. Former Land-based, OWWA or POEA-accredited providers who were not able to comply with the re-registration requirement with OWWA shall wait for further advice on the accreditation of land-based PDOS providers. TAEcSC

The accreditation of Providers shall be for two (2) years. Thereafter, they shall renew their registration with OWWA three (3) months before the expiration of accreditation. Renewal of accreditation shall be based on the performance track record as provider.

All PDOS providers are likewise reminded to adopt the PDOS Electronic Report Form prescribed by OWWA and to submit their monthly reports promptly within the first seven (7) days each month.

Non-compliance by PDOS Providers to this advisory after three (3) months from receipt of a notice, shall be subject to revocation of registration with OWWA.
