DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Research and Special Programs Administration
Office of Hazardous Materials Safety; Notice of Applications for
Modification of Exemption
AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration, DOT.
ACTION: List of applications for modification of exemptions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 ``M'' denote a modification request. These applications have
been separated from the new applications for exemptions to facilitate
processing.
