Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
Utah

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

ACTION: Notice of limitations on claims for judicial review of actions 
by UDOT.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by UDOT that are final Federal agency actions. 
The final agency actions relate to a proposed highway project, a 
southbound frontage road along Interstate 215 (I-215) between 4100 
South and 4700 South in Taylorsville City, Salt Lake County, State of 
Utah. Those actions grant licenses, permits and/or approvals for the 
project. The UDOT's Environmental Assessment and Finding of No 
Significant Impact, provide details on the Selected Alternative for the 
proposed improvements.

DATES: By this notice, FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, 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 July 30, 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elisa Albury, Environmental Program 
Manager, UDOT Environmental Services, PO Box 143600, Salt Lake City, UT 
84114; (801)-965-4000; email: ealbury@udot.gov. UDOT's normal business

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective January 17, 2017, FHWA assigned to 
UDOT certain responsibilities of FHWA for environmental review, 
consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal 
environmental laws and regulations for highway projects in Utah, 
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Actions taken by UDOT on FHWA's behalf 
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 constitute Federal agency actions for 
purposes of Federal law. Notice is hereby given that UDOT has taken 
final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. Sec.  139(l)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the I-215 Southbound Frontage Road 
project in the State of Utah.
    The project proposes to construct a transportation solution to 
improve connectivity from I-215 to the local roadway network by 
constructing an approximate 1-mile frontage road between 4100 South and 
4700 South and associated local roadway improvements between 2200 West 
and 2700 West in Taylorsville City, Salt Lake County, Utah. These 
improvements were identified in the Environmental Assessment (EA) 
prepared for the project by UDOT as Alternative 1. The project is 
included in UDOT's adopted 2020-2025 State Transportation Improvement 
Plan (STIP) as project number F-I215(196)16; PIN 17953. The project is 
also included in the Wasatch Front Regional Council's 2019-2050
