Sec. 18.10  Notice of approval or disapproval.

    (a) Upon completing investigation of a complete assembly of an 
electrical machine or accessory, MSHA will issue to the applicant either 
a written notice of approval or a written notice of disapproval, as the 
case may require. No informal notification of approval will be issued. 
If a notice of disapproval is issued, it will be accompanied by details 
of the defects, with recommendations for possible correction. MSHA will 
not disclose, except to the applicant, any information upon which a 
notice of disapproval has been issued.
    (b) A formal notice of approval will be accompanied by a list of 
drawings, specifications, and related material, covering the details of 
design and construction of the equipment upon which the approval is 
based. Applicants shall keep exact duplicates of the drawings, 
specifications, and descriptions that relate to equipment for which an 
approval has been issued, and the drawings and specifications shall be 
adhered to exactly in production of the approved equipment.
    (c) An applicant shall not advertise or otherwise represent his 
equipment as approved (permissible) until he has received MSHA's formal 
notice of approval.
