Abstract	In an earlier companion paper, research was described dealing with experimentation of an innovative traffic control device (TCD). This article also provided an example of a successful experiment and discussed the implementation of a new TCD--the "fluorescent yellow green" (FYG) warning signs to be used for school-, pedestrian-, and bicycle-related traffic safety. In this article, Part II in this series, an explanation is given of how changes, such as incorporating a new device into the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, are adopted through the Federal Register rulemaking process, beginning with the publication of a Notice of Proposed Amendment. Further discussion of the FYG example is also included.
