Office of Hazardous Materials Safety; Notice of Application 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 the 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.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 13, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to: Records Center, 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 Records Center, Nassif Building, 400 
7th Street SW., Washington, DC or at http://dms.dot.gob.
    This notice of receipt of applications for modification of 
exemptions is published in accordance with Part 107 of the Federal 
hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5117(b); 49 CFR 
1.53(b)).

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 22, 2001.
