§ 10.1 Policy governing coal analyses. The Bureau of Mines makes analyses of coals primarily on behalf of Federal agencies. However, the Bureau will make analyses of coals for a non-Federal applicant in the following instances when such work can be done without hindrance to other Bureau functions:
(a) To check laboratory techniques, methods, and results at the request of a laboratory engaged in coal analysis.
(b) In cases involving disputes where the laboratory analyses previously obtained by the parties are in conflict.
(c) In cases where non-Federal applicants are investigating coal deposits by core drilling and other geologic methods, provided the data from such investigations are to be published, either by the Bureau or the applicant.
(d) In any other cases which the Director, Bureau of Mines, determines to be in the public interest.
§ 10.2 Applications. Requests of non-Federal applicants for coal analyses should be sent in duplicate to the Regional Director, Region V, Bureau of Mines, Central Experiment Station, 4800 Forbes Street, Pittsburgh 13, Pennsylvania.
§ 10.3 Coal samples and fees. When an applicant has been notified that his application has been approved, he should send the requisite samples and fees as follows:
(a) Samples of coal should be collected and shipped in the manner approved by the Bureau of Mines. (See Bureau of Mines Technical Paper 1, "The Sampling of Coal in the Mine," by Joseph A. Holmes; and Bureau of Mines Revision of Technical Paper 133 (1950), "Handbook on Coal Sampling", by N. H. Snyder.) Samples should be sent, transportation charges prepaid, to the Regional Director, Region V, Bureau of Mines, Central Experiment Station, 4800 Forbes Street, Pittsburgh 13, Pennsylvania. Each sample of coal should be accompanied by identification showing the name of the applicant, the name of the coal bed and of the mine from which the coal came, the exact location where the sample originated in case of mine or core drill sample, the place of delivery in case of a sample of delivered coal, the State and county in which the mine (or coal bed in case of core drill sample) is located, and the shipping point or town nearest the mine or drill site.
(b) Every non-Federal applicant except a State governmental agency must pay the fees specified in § 10.4 by check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of the Treasurer of the United States. All fees should be transmitted to the Regional Director, Region V, Bureau of Mines, Central Experiment Station, 4800 Forbes Street, Pittsburgh 13. Pennsylvania.
