SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans, and USFWS, that are final within 
the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed 
highway project, on State Route 60 (SR-60) between Gilman Springs Road 
at Post Mile (PM) 22.10 and PM 26.61, located approximately 1.369 miles 
west of Jack Rabbit Trail, in a portion of unincorporated Riverside 
County, 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 November 
14, 2016. 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.
