<BD>ACTION: <RM>List of applications for modification of exemptions.

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

<BD>SUMMARY: <RM>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 
application have been shown in earlier Federal Register publications, 
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.

<BD>DATES: <RM>Comments must be received on or before May 15, 2001.
    <IT>Address Comments to: <RM>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.

<BD>FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: <RM>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 
exemptions 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)).
