Modification of Exemption

AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration, DOT.

ACTION: List of applications for modification of exemption.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the procedures governing the application 
for, and the processing of, exemptions from the Department of 
Transportation's Hazardous Material Regulations (49 CFR part 107, 
subpart B), notice is hereby given that the Office of Hazardous 
Materials Safety has received the application described herein. This 
notice is abbreviated to expedite docketing and public notice. Because 
the sections affected, modes of transportation, and the nature of

they are not repeated here. Request of 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. Their applications have 
been separated from the new application for exemption to facilitate 
processing.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 28, 2004.

Address Comments to: Record Center, Research and Special Programs 
Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC 
20590.

triplicate. If confirmation of receipt of comments is desired, include 
a self-addressed stamped postcard showing the exemption number.

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