Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in
California
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of

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, replacement of Morrill Canyon Bridge
(Bridge No. 56 0169, Post Mile 3.08) and Strawberry Creek Bridge
(Bridge No. 56 0180 Post Mile 53.5) on State Route 74 in the County of
Riverside, State of California. Those actions grant licenses, permits,
and approvals for the project.
DATES: 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 August 30, 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 still applies.
