(1) Monthly and annual amounts of fuel(s) consumed. For the purposes of this subparagraph, annual fuel consumption shall be calculated each calendar month by adding (for each fuel) the current calendar month's fuel consumption to those of the previous eleven months;

(2) Monthly and annual operating hours. For the purpose of this subparagraph, annual operating hours shall be calculated each calendar month by adding the current calendar month's operating hours to those of the previous eleven months;

(3) With respect to each shipment of liquid fuel (other than liquified petroleum gas), to be used with each engine authorized hereunder, a shipping receipt and certification from the fuel supplier of the type of fuel delivered, the percentage of sulfur in such fuel (by weight), and the method used by the fuel supplier to determine the sulfur content of such fuel; and

(4) Date, duration and type of emergency during which an emergency generator is operated. Owner shall record the date and type of emergency, the hours of operation of the emergency generator, and the amount and type of fuel consumed by the generator. Owner must certify that non-maintenance run hours occurred only during emergencies. Maintenance hours must be separately accounted for. Owner shall record operations when they occur.

B. Availability of records. Unless the Department provides otherwise in writing, the owner shall maintain each record required by this Section for a minimum of five years after the date such record is made. An owner shall promptly provide any such record, or copy thereof, to the Department upon request.
