				  selected from various parts of the load. Approximately one-half of the number
				  of bins comprising the sample shall be bins located below the top layer of the
				  load. The balance of sample bins may be from the top layer. One sample shall be
				  taken from each bin selected, in accordance with the following:
Bins
