(2) Any representative of miners designated under part 40 of this title, to training certifications compiled under Sec. 62.180(b) of this part and to any notice of exposure determination under Sec. 62.110(d) of this part, for the miners whom he or she represents; and
(3) Any former miner, for records which indicate his or her own exposure.
(b) When a person with access to records under paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) of this section requests a copy of a record, the mine operator must provide the first copy of such record at no cost to that person, and any additional copies requested by that person at reasonable cost.
(c) Transfer of records. (1) The mine operator must transfer all records required to be maintained by this part, or a copy thereof, to a successor mine operator who must maintain the records for the time period required by this part.
(1) The mine operator must transfer all records required to be maintained by this part, or a copy thereof, to a successor mine operator who must maintain the records for the time period required by this part.
(2) The successor mine operator must use the baseline audiogram, or revised baseline audiogram, as appropriate, obtained by the original mine operator to determine the existence of a standard threshold shift or reportable hearing loss.

For any value, the
reference duration (T) in hours is computed by: T = 8/2(L-90)/5 where
L is the measured A-weighted, slow-response sound pressure level.
