Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highways in 
Nevada

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions 
by FHWA and other Federal agencies.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal 
agencies that are final. The actions relate to the proposed highway 
project for transportation improvements in the Interstate 80 (I-80), 
Interstate 580 (I-580), United States Highway 395 (US 395) Interchange, 
and connecting roads in the City of Reno and City of Sparks, Washoe 
County, Nevada. The I-80/I-580/US 395 Interchange is known locally as 
the ``Spaghetti Bowl.'' These actions grant licenses, permits, and 
approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, FHWA 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 listed highway project will be 
barred unless the claim is filed on or before February 3, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken

prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and combined 
Final EIS (FEIS)/Record of Decision (ROD) to reconstruct the Spaghetti 
Bowl Interchange in the cities of Reno and Sparks in Washoe County, 
Nevada. The proposed project will improve the Spaghetti Bowl and major 
street connections on I-580/US 395 from Meadowood Mall Way Drive on the 
south to Parr Avenue/Dandini Boulevard on the north and I-80 from 
Keystone Avenue on the west to Pyramid Way on the east. The study 
includes approximately 7.3 miles of I-580/US 395 and 4.3 miles of I-80. 
The project will improve the operations,

capacity, and safety of the interchange while addressing all modes of 
travel as appropriate. Regionally, I-80 connects San Francisco,
