(2) That, as a condition of the foregoing stay, each railroad collecting in-transit grain inspection charges under the challenged tariffs shall immediately take steps, including publication of appropriate provisions in applicable tariffs, to do the following:

(a) keep accurate accounts in detail of all amounts hereafter      received during the existence of the stay by reason of      in-transit grain inspection charges, specifying by whom and      in whose behalf such amounts are paid; and
