Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Roadway in 
California

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

[[Page 16303]]


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 roadway project, the I-10 Bypass: Banning to Cabazon 
Project from the intersection of Hathaway Street and Westward Avenue in 
the City of Banning to the intersection of Bonita Avenue and Apache 
Trail in the unincorporated community of Cabazon, for approximately 3.3 
miles of new roadway in the County of Riverside, State of California. 
Those actions grant 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 August 
12, 2022. 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.
