Sec. 35.9  Certificates of approval.

    (a) Upon completion of an investigation of a hydraulic fluid MSHA 
will issue to the applicant either a certificate of approval or a 
written notice of disapproval as the case may require. No informal 
notification of approval will be issued. If a certificate of approval is 
issued, no test data or detailed results of tests will accompany it. If 
a notice of disapproval is issued, it will be accompanied by details of 
the defect(s), with a view to possible correction. MSHA will not 
disclose, except to the applicant, any information on a fluid upon which 
a notice of disapproval has been issued.
    (b) A certificate of approval will be accompanied by a list of 
specifications covering the characteristics of a hydraulic fluid upon 
which the certificate of approval is based. In addition to the 
applicant's record of control in maintaining the fire-resistant 
characteristics, applicants shall keep exact duplicates of the 
specifications that have been submitted to MSHA and that relate to any 
fluid which has received a certificate of approval; and these are to be 
adhered to exactly in production of the certified fluid for commercial 
purposes.
