Dear Mr. Clements:

This is in response to your December 21, 2001, and January 12 e-mails requesting an extension and expansion of Experiment Number: 6-115(E)-"Please Slow Down, My Daddy (Mommy) Works Here" sign.

Your request for an extension and expansion of the Experiment Number 6-115(E) "Please Slow Down, My Daddy (Mommy) Works Here" sign is approved for up to 50 construction projects statewide during the 2002 construction season. Also, we are granting New York State Department of Transportation flexible approval on selecting the construction projects. Please fax us the locations as you determined where this sign would be used on a project. Our fax number is 202-366-3225.

We look forward to reviewing your report following completion of the experimentation. If we can be of further assistance, contact Mr. Charlie L. Sears at 202-366-1555.

Sincerely yours,
