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

AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration, DOT.

ACTION: List of applications for modification of exemptions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the procedures governing the application 
for, and the processing of, exemptions from the Department of 
Transportation's Hazardous Materials 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

they are not repeated here.
    Requests for 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. These applications have been separated from the 
new applications for exemptions to facilitate processing.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 6, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Address comments to Records Center, Research and Special 
Programs 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.
