Work Zone Safety

ACTION: Notice of public meetings.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
(ANPRM) on February 6, 2002 (67 FR 5532), to obtain comments on the 
current work zone safety regulation. The purpose of the ANPRM was to 
seek comments regarding improvements that can be made to its regulation

work zone mobility and safety concerns. On June 6, 2002, the comment 
period closed, and the FHWA began to analyze the comments provided. 
This meeting is being held to highlight the reasons for the ANPRM, 
present a summary of the comments received, and discuss, based on the 
comments received, the possible impacts that a rulemaking might have on 
the current regulation.
