SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans. The actions relate to a proposed 
highway project, I-110 High-Occupancy Toll Lane Flyover Project 07-LA-
110-PM 20.10/20.92 in the City and County of Los Angeles, 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 150 days 
after publication in the Federal Register for actions relate to a 
proposed highway project, I-110 High-Occupancy Toll Lane Flyover 
Project 07-LA-110-PM 20.10/20.92 in the City and County of Los Angeles, 
State of California. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review 
of a claim provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such
