Office of Hazardous Materials Safety; Notice of Applications for 
Modification of Exemption

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety 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 the 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. 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 August 1, 2005.

ADDRESSES:  Record Center, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety 
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.gov.
    This notice of receipt of applications for modification of 
exemption 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)).
