Materials Safety has received the application described herein. This 
notice is abbreviated to expedite docketing and public notice. Because

(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 application for exemption to facilitate 
processing.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 10, 2004.

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