The notice follows the established procedures for applying for and processing these permits. The source text does not list the individual permits or the companies involved.
The points

- 2Each application was either granted or denied.
- 3Special permits are issued under the Department of Transportation's Hazardous Material Regulations.
- 4The notice is published under set procedures for applying for and processing permits.

Why it matters
Special permits can allow hazmat shipments to be packaged or transported in ways that differ from standard Hazardous Material Regulations, so grant or denial decisions determine which alternatives are authorized.
