from the new applications for exemptions to facilitate processing.

Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC

available for inspection in the Records Center, Nassif Building, 400 
7th Street SW., Washington, DC or at http://dms.dot.gov.
    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
