  officers shall transmit to the division, no later than the fifteenth day
  of January, nineteen hundred eighty, a list containing the name of every

  rank,  or have ceased to serve in the preceding six calendar months and,
  in the instance of new appointees, shall  include  all  the  information
  required to be furnished in the initial listing.
    3.  Each  such  head  shall have the option to enter into an agreement
  with the division whereby the required semi-annual updating of  registry
  information may be regularly done on a more frequent basis.
