(4) Other Public Agencies or Districts. File with a public agency or district designated officer or employee.

(5) The oath or affirmation may be destroyed without duplication five years after the termination of the disaster service worker volunteer's service or, in the case of a public employee, five years after the termination of the em-ployee's employment.

(b) All registration records shall be available for inspection by any officer or employee of the State Compensation Insurance Fund or of the California Emergency Management Agency.
