‘‘(b) DEFINITIONS.—In this section: 
‘‘(1) ENGINEERED
GLASS
BEADS.—The term 
‘engineered glass beads’ means glass beads produced 
to meet retroreflectivity and durability performance 
based on the following properties: 
‘‘(A) Size distribution (bead size distribu-
tion ranges between 100 U.S. Mesh to 14 U.S. 
Mesh) exposes at least 35 percent of the diame-
ter of the glass beads above the dry paint sur-
face with remaining glass embedded into the 
paint. 
‘‘(B) Surface functional coating ensures 
that the inorganic composition of the glass bead 
surface is compatible with the organic composi-
tion of the paint formulation to achieve ade-
quate bead-paint adhesion. 
‘‘(C) Refractive index of the glass bead 
provides the required light refraction character-
istics that will enable adequate retroreflectivity 
performance (refractive index in the 1.50 to 
1.60 range) required for the application. 
‘‘(D) Mechanical properties of the glass 
bead allow adequate strength (compressive 
strength of at least 30,000 pounds per square

‘‘(E) Chemical make of the glass beads 
(soda-lime-silica based chemistry) allows the use 
of environmentally acceptable recycled glass 
types, such as flat and container type glasses, 
as the main raw material in the manufacturing 
process. 
‘‘(2) REFLECTIVE MARKING.—The term ‘reflec-
tive marking’ means a system composed of pig-
mented binders, including paint, thermoplastic, and 
epoxy, that is applied at a predefined thickness onto 
the pavement surface with glass beads mixed into or 
dropped onto the binder at a predefined surface cov-
erage rate.’’. 
(b) CONFORMING AMENDMENT.—The analysis for
