Modification of Exemption

AGENCY:  Research and Special Programs Administration, DOT.

SUMMARY:  In accordance with the procedures governing the application

Transportation's Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR part 107,

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 exemptions to facilitate 
processing.
