I've scanned the rule book and the rule 6-3 doesn't address it (we were told it did). If you arrive at a site and the home team does not provide a LT but the coach lists a libero on the roster/lineup does the libero still play? If not, when do you inform the coach about the requirement for a LT?

I've asked during the coach/captains meeting.
(to home coach): Coach, are you using a libero this evening?
Coach: Yes
Me: Then we'll need you to supply a libero tracker.
If the answer is no, then I'll remind them that if they choose to use one in game 2 or beyond, they'll need to supply a libero tracker.
Hasn't been a problem at all this year. I think from my tone of voice, they understand if they want to use the libero, we'll need them to supply a tracker.

If the visitor plays with a libero but the home team doesn't is the visitor required to provide a LT?

Yes.

What if the visitor tells you its the home team's job?

Tell them they're wrong.

I can then see the home team, after getting a visiting team's LT at the scorer's table then asking to play a libero.
|
Lineups are due early enough that you can swap trackers once you've determined the home team is using a libero. Easy enough problem to solve.

Again, this is new and I haven't seen any of this...yet. Maybe it won't be such a big deal but they seem to have placed another "administrative" reponsibility on the officials regarding the oversite of this LT position.

Nah. Just get comfortable with who is supposed to supply the tracker.
Home team using (regardless): they supply the tracker
Visiting team using: They supply ONLY if home team is NOT using the libero.
Both teams using: see home team
Neither team using: tracker unnecessary, but make sure no one decides to list one in subsequent games.
