Sec. 22.1  Purpose.

    (a) The purpose of investigations under this part is to provide 
portable methane detectors that may be safely used in mines. Lists of

mine-inspection departments, compensation bureaus, mine operators, 
miners, and others interested in safe equipment for mines may have 
information in regard to permissible methane detectors. This part 
supersedes Schedule 8B, issued under date of November 17, 1926, and goes 
into effect October 31, 1935.
    (b) Any methane detector that meets the requirements set forth in 
this part will be termed permissible by MSHA and if actively marketed 
will be listed as such in publications relating to permissible mining 
equipment.
