6    applicable laws and regulations is not considered disposal
7    or energy recovery.
8        (11) Recyclers must use a regularly implemented and
9    documented monitoring and record-keeping program that
10    tracks total inbound residential CED material weights and
11    total subsequent outbound weights to each destination,

10transport from each site that the recycler uses to manage
11residential CEDs not less than 75% of the total weight of

14that demonstrate compliance with this requirement and shall
15make those records available to the Agency for inspection and
