Such an account may be established in one or more of such depositories. Such deposits shall be kept separate and apart from all other money in the possession of the comptroller. The comptroller shall require adequate security from all such depositories. Of the total revenue collected or received under this section, the comptroller shall retain in his hands such amount as the commissioner of taxation and finance may determine to be necessary for refunds under this section.
(2) On or before the twelfth day of each month, after reserving such amount for such refunds and such costs, the commissioner of taxation and finance shall certify to the comptroller the amount of all revenues so received during the prior month as a result of the taxes, interest and penalties so imposed and in addition on or before the last day of June the commissioner shall certify the amount of such revenues received during and including the first twenty-five days of June.

(2) Commencing with the sales tax quarterly period which commences on March first, two thousand, the commissioner shall make such determinations and certifications on the twelfth day of the month following the month in which sales tax quarterly returns are due under section eleven hundred thirty-six of this article with respect to such quarterly period for as long as such clothing and footwear exemptions from such taxes imposed pursuant to the authority of article twenty-nine of this chapter or by section eleven hundred eight of this part are in effect. Neither the commissioner nor the comptroller shall be held liable for any inaccuracy in such determinations and certifications. Such determinations and certifications may be based on such information as may be available to the commissioner at the time such determinations and certifications must be made under this subdivision and may be estimated on the basis of percentages or other indices calculated from distributions from prior periods. The commissioner shall be authorized to require such information as the commissioner deems necessary to comply with the requirements of this subdivision from persons required to file returns under such section eleven hundred thirty-six of this article.

The comptroller shall deposit the amounts so deducted and recovered in the mass transportation operating assistance fund to be credited as provided in paragraph three of this subdivision.
(6) The commissioner shall certify the amount of any over calculation or under calculation of any certification required to be made to the comptroller under paragraph three of this subdivision as soon after its discovery as reasonably possible and subsequent bills to a city, county or school district to which the over calculation or under calculation relates shall be adjusted accordingly, provided that the comptroller may adjust such number of subsequent bills as the comptroller shall consider reasonable in view of the amount of the adjustment and all other facts and circumstances.
(7) On the same date that the comptroller is required to bill a county, city or school district an amount as provided in paragraph three of this subdivision, the comptroller shall, after having first made any deposits required by section ninety-two-r of the state finance law and only to the extent that there are moneys remaining after having made such required deposits, withdraw from the state treasury, to the debit of the general fund, an amount equal to the total of the amounts required to be billed to counties, cities and school districts pursuant to such subdivision three and deposit such total amount in the mass transportation operating assistance fund to be credited as provided in such paragraph three.
