Office of Hazardous Materials Safety; Notice of Applications for

Modification of Exemptions or Applications To Become a Party to an

Exemption

AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration, DOT.

ACTION: List of applications for modification of exemptions or

applications to become a party to an exemption.

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

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

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. 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.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 6, 1996.

ADDRESS COMMENTS TO: Dockets Unit, 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.
