SUMMARY: In accordance with the procedures governing the application 
for, and the processing of exemptions from the Department of 
Transportation's Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR part 107, 
Subpart B), notice is hereby given that the Office of Hazardous 
Materials Safety has received the applications described herein. This 
notice is abbreviated to expedite docketing and public notice. Because 
the sections affected, modes of transportation, and the nature of 
application have been shown in earlier Federal Register publications, 
they are not repeated here. Requests for modifications of exemptions 
(e.g. to provide for additional hazardous materials, packaging design 
changes, additional mode of transportation, etc.) are described in 
footnotes to the application number. Application numbers with the 
suffix ``X'' denote a modification request. Application numbers with 
the suffix ``P'' denote a party to request. These applications have 
been separated from the new applications for exemptions to facilitate 
processing.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 5, 1994.

ADDRESS COMMENTS TO: Dockets Unit, Research and Special Programs 
Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC 20590
