Actions to be taken when a personal log has been lost are made in 421.08 of the standards. Paragraph (b) states:
The affidavit or declaration shall contain an explanation of the circumstances
which prevented the submission of a personal log and a statement declaring
that all attempts to reproduce and certify entries in a personal log have been
unsuccessful.
It appears therefore to be unnecessary to make an affidavit or statutory declaration when a personal log can be recreated with the information required by regulation 401.08.
