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, the modification of the existing Hazel
Avenue/U.S. 50 interchange in the County of Sacramento, 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(/)(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 January
19, 2021. 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 applies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, FHWA assigned, and
Caltrans assumed, environmental responsibilities for this project
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that the Caltrans has
taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(/)(1) by issuing
licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway project in
the State of California.
The County of Sacramento, in cooperation with Caltrans and the City
of Rancho Cordova, proposes to modify the existing Hazel Avenue/US 50
interchange, and extend and grade-separate Hazel Avenue over Folsom
Boulevard and the SPTC-JPA rail corridor. Hazel Avenue will be extended
south to a proposed intersection with the future Atlanta Street (a new
roadway that will be constructed as part of the Easton Place
development). The project limits along US 50 begin approximately 3,200
feet west of the existing Hazel Avenue overcrossing and extend 2,500
feet east of the Natoma Overhead (post miles 15.1 to 15.4).
Improvements along Folsom Boulevard would extend from approximately
1,200 feet west of the
[[Page 51545]]
Hazel Avenue intersection to 900 feet east of the intersection. The
project purpose is to reduce congestion, improve traffic operations,
accommodate travel demand due to planned and approved developments, and
improve safety of all modes of travel, including bicycles and
pedestrians. The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under
which such actions were taken, are described in the Final Environmental
Assessment (FEA)/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the
project, approved on July 2, 2020, and in other documents in Caltrans'
project records.
The FEA, FONSI and other project records are available by
