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.
