## Abstract

The agency is amending Standard No. 131, School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices, to permit the use of additional light sources on the surface of retroreflective stop signal arms and to permit a certain amount of the retroreflective surface to be obscured by mounting hardware. It also makes minor clarifications to the standard. This responds to a petition from Transpec, Inc., a maker of stop arms.
