SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans that relate to a proposed highway 
project, Binney Junction Underpass (UP) and Marysville UP replacement 
on State Route 70, in the City of Marysville, in Yuba County, in the 
State of California. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and 
approvals for the project.
