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.

Application numbers with the suffix ``M'' denote a modification request. These applications have been separated from the new applications for exemptions to facilitate processing.
