(d) that evidence of receipts and disposal of unmarked rebated kerosene and of any waste oil recovered from process be held for at least one year after actual use of the oil or disposal of the waste;

(e) that up-to-date monthly balanced stock amounts of unmarked rebated kerosene and of any waste oil recovered from process, showing suppliers of unmarked oil and full details of the disposal or recycling of waste oil, be maintained and held for at least one year after the date of the last entries in them;

(f) that the stock accounts be compared and reconciled with physical stocks or unmarked oil and of waste oil on hand at the close of each calendar month, any apparent gains or losses being included in the balanced accounts;
