Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
California

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions 
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans, that are final. The actions relate 
to a proposed highway project, on State Route 12 between postmiles 
20.57 and 26.41 near the town of Rio Vista in the County of Solano, 
State of California. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and 
approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is advising the 
public of final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim 
seeking judicial review of the Federal agency actions on the highway 
project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before May 14, 
2020. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim 
provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such claim, 
then that shorter time period still applies.

Environmental Planner, California Department of Transportation, 111

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned, 
and Caltrans assumed, environmental responsibilities for this project 
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that Caltrans has 
taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway project in 
the State of California: Caltrans proposes to rehabilitate State Route 
12 from postmile 20.57 to 26.41 in Solano County near the town of Rio 
Vista. Anticipated work includes repairing roadway pavement cracking 
and upgrading non-standard shoulders, travel lanes, vertical sight 
distances, cross slopes, and drainage systems. Additionally, the 
project will address flooding issues and upgrade the American with 
Disabilities (ADA) facilities. All work will improve ride quality, 
enhance safety, and extend the service life of the pavement. The 
actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions 
were taken, are described in the Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) 
and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the project, approved 
on October 4, 2019, and in other documents in the Caltrans' project 
records. The FEA, FONSI, and other project records are available by 
contacting Caltrans at the addresses provided above. The Caltrans FEA
