Sec. 22.5  Conditions governing investigations.

    (a) One complete detector, with assembly and detail drawings that 
show the construction of the device and the materials of which it is 
made, should be forwarded prepaid to Approval and Certification Center, 
RR 1, Box 251, Industrial Park Road, Triadelphia, WV 26059, at the time 
the application for tests is made.
    (b) When this has been inspected by MSHA, the applicant will be 
notified as to the amount of material that will be required for the 
tests. The manufacturer will be notified of the date on which the tests 
will be started and will be given an opportunity to witness the tests.
    (c) 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.
