The methane sensors shall be located so that the belt air is monitored near the mouth of the development or retreat section, near the tailpiece of the belt conveyor, and at or near any secondary belt drive unit installed in the belt haulage entry. B. The methane monitoring system shall be capable of providing both audible and visual signals on both the working section and at a manned location on the surface of the mine where personnel will have two-way communication with all working sections and will be on duty at all times when miners are underground. The system shall initiate alert signals when the level of methane exceeds 0.8 volume per centum, and alarm signals when tile level is 1.0 volume per centum. The methane monitoring system shall be designed and installed to de-energize the belt conveyor drive units and the equipment located on the section when the level of methane equals or exceeds 1.0 volume per centum. C. The methane monitoring system shall be visually examined at least once every 24 hours to ensure proper functioning. The system shall be inspected by a person qualified for such work at intervals not exceeding 7 days. The qualified person shall ensure that the devices are operating properly and that the required maintenance, as recommended by the manufacturer, is performed. The monitoring devices shall be calibrated with known quantities of methane-air mixtures at intervals not exceeding 31 calendar days.

Background

    Each year, Federal agencies create billions of records. To control 
this accumulation, agency records managers prepare schedules proposing 
retention periods for records and submit these schedules for NARA's 
approval. Once approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory 
instructions on what happens to records when no longer needed for 
current Government business. The records schedules authorize agencies 
to preserve records of continuing value in the National Archives or to 
destroy, after a specified period, records lacking continuing 
administrative, legal, research, or other value. Some schedules are 
comprehensive and cover all the records of an agency or one of its 
major subdivisions. Most schedules, however, cover records of only one 
office or program or a few series of records. Many of these update 
previously approved schedules, and some include records proposed as 
permanent.
    Agencies may not destroy Federal records without the approval of 
the Archivist of the United States. The Archivist grants this approval 
only after thorough consideration of the records' administrative use by 
the agency of origin, the rights of the Government and of private 
people directly affected by the Government's activities, and whether or 
not the records have historical or other value. Public review and 
comment on these records schedules is part of the Archivist's 
consideration process.
