188: Director to keep accessible record of carbon dioxide accounts

You could also call this:

“The Director keeps a list of everyone with a carbon dioxide account that you can check”

The Director must create and keep a record of everyone who has a carbon dioxide account. This record must include each account holder’s name and their account number.

If you want to find out information from this record, you can ask the Director. You need to follow the rules when you ask. You can only ask for information to check if someone has an account or to move carbon dioxide credits between accounts.

The Director has to make sure the record works in a way that lets you check if someone has an account and if their account number is right. It also needs to help people move carbon dioxide credits between accounts. The Director must follow any other rules about the record that are written in the regulations.
