Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in
California
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
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 highway project, known as the SR-91 Corridor Operations
Project (COP) portion of the Ultimate SR-91 Corridor Improvement
Project (CIP), where the project limits extend approximately 2 miles
along westbound SR-91, from Green River Road onramp to SR-241 in the
Counties of Orange and Riverside, 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 September
24, 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.
