Triadelphia, WV 26059.
    (b) When this lamp has been inspected by MSHA, the applicant will be 
notified as to the amount of material that will be required for the 
tests. In general, the material required will be as follows: (1) Thirty 
complete lamps; (2) 500 bulbs; (3) 50 feet of cord; (4) a battery

    (c) The applicant will be notified of the date on which the tests 
will start and will be given an opportunity to witness them.
    (d) Observers at formal investigations and demonstrations. No one 
shall be present during any part of the formal investigation conducted 
by MSHA which leads to approval for permissibility except the necessary 
Government personnel, representatives of the applicant, and such other 
persons as may be mutually agreed upon by the applicant and MSHA. Upon 
granting approval for permissibility, MSHA will announce that such 
approval has been granted to the device and may thereafter conduct, from 
time to time in its discretion, public demonstrations of the tests 
conducted on the approved device. Those who attend any part of the 
investigation, or any public demonstration, shall be present solely as 
observers; the conduct of the investigation and of any public 
demonstration shall be controlled by MSHA. Results of chemical analyses 
of material and all information contained in the drawings, 
specifications, and instructions shall be deemed confidential and their 
disclosure will be appropriately safeguarded by MSHA.
    (e) Permissibility tests will not be made unless the lamp has been 
completely developed and is in a form that can be marketed.
    (f) The results of the tests shall be regarded as confidential by 
all present at the tests and shall not be made public in any way prior 
to the formal approval of the lamp by MSHA.
    (g) No verbal report of approval or disapproval will be made to the 
applicant. After MSHA has considered the results of the tests, a formal 
report of the approval or disapproval will be made to the applicant in 
writing by Approval and Certification Center. The applicant shall not 
advertise the lamp as being permissible or as having passed the tests 
prior to receipt of formal notice of approval.
