Dear Mr. Johnson: 

In your letter of August 25, 2009 you requested the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) 

acceptance of the Accuform model FRC750 x-footprint sign stand as a crashworthy traffic 

control device for use in work zones on the National Highway System (NHS). You requested 

acceptance of the temporary sign stand for use with roll-up sign substrate materials. 

Accompanying your letter were the FHWA Office of Safety Design forms and a copy of the 

crash test report. The test summary, device drawing, and test article description pages are 

enclosed with the acceptance forms. 

You requested that we find the FRC750 acceptable for use as a Test Level 3 device on the NHS 

under the provisions of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 350 

"Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features”. 

This letter acknowledges FHWA’s acceptance of your request. The original completed forms 

have been modified by the addition of the FHWA acceptance letter number and the date of our 

review. The form will be posted on our Web site in the near future. 

 Sincerely yours, 

David A. Nicol, P.E.
