DOT.

ACTION: List of Applications for Modification of Special Permit.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the procedures governing the application 
for, and the processing of, special permits 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 applications described herein. This 
notice is abbreviated to expedite docketing and public notice. Because 
the sections affected, modes of transportation, and the nature of the 
applications have been shown in earlier Federal Register publications, 
they are not repeated here. Requests for modifications of special 
permits (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 special permits to 
facilitate processing.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 7, 2008.

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

available for inspection in the Records Center, East Building, PHH-30, 
1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC or at http://dms.dot.gov.
