Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
     William H. Osborne, Chief Executive Officer of Federal Signal Corporation (the “Registrant”), released a communication to employees of the Registrant today in which he announced that, although the Company’s businesses continue to operate profitably, like many other companies Federal Signal’s forward order patterns show significant weakness in many of its markets. In order to confront the difficult economic environment to ensure profitability through a potentially prolonged economic downturn, Federal Signal management also announced a cost reduction program, including an objective to reduce salaried personnel related costs by 13% when compared to 2008 levels.
     The 13% cost reduction will affect not only salaries and equity compensation of salaried personnel, but also contracted services, travel expenses and benefit costs. A company-wide study of all of businesses is being conducted with the goal of having this process complete, and specific organizational changes announced, by February 1. 2009.
