The section consolidates and restates the source provisions for clarity. The words " 'keep' and 'kept' shall be construed to mean made, prepared or compiled, as well as retained" are omitted as unnecessary in view of the restatement. The word "association" is omitted from the text of the definition to eliminate redundancy. The word "tariffs" is substituted for "schedules" for consistency and in view of the definition of "tariff" in section 10102 of the revised title.
