Description:  TITLE: National Standards for Traffic Control Devices; the Manual on Uniform Traffic 
Control Devices for Streets and Highways; Revision  
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)  
ACTION: Proposed rule; extension  of comment period  
SUMMARY: FHWA is extending the comment period for a notice of proposed amendments (NPA) and 
request for comments, which was published on 14 December 2020 in the Federal Register. The 
original comment period is set to close on 15 March 20 21. The extension is based on concern 
expressed by a number of stakeholders that, as a result of the scope and complexity of the NPA, the 
15 March 2021, closing date does not provide sufficient time to review and provide comprehensive 
comments. The FHWA re cognizes that others interested in commenting may have similar concerns 
and agrees that the comment period should be extended. Therefore, the closing date for comments
