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

changes, additional mode of transportation, etc.) are described in

footnotes to the application number. Application numbers with the

suffix ``X'' denote a modification request. Application numbers with

the suffix ``P'' denote a party to request. These applications have

been separated from the new applications for exemptions to facilitate

processing.
