DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
 

Office of Hazardous Materials Safety; Applications for 
Modification of Exemptions or Applications To Become a Party To an 
Exemption

AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration, DOT.

ACTION: List of Applications for Modification of Exemptions or 
Applications to Become a Party to an Exemption.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 June 3, 1994.

ADDRESS COMMENTS TO: Dockets Unit, Research and Special Programs, 
Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC 
20590.
    Comments should refer to the application number and be submitted in 
triplicate. If confirmation of receipt of comments is desired, include 
a self-addressed stamped postcard showing the exemption number.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Copies of the applications are available for inspection in the Dockets 
Unit, room 8426, Nassif Building, 400 7th Street SW., Washington, DC.
