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) and the 
United States Forest Service (Plumas National Forest) to issue a 
special use permit to 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, State Route 82, postmiles 12.3 to 15.9, 
in the County San Mateo, 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 October 
11, 2022. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and the California Department of 
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed, environmental responsibilities for 
this project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that 
Caltrans has taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) 
by issuing licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway 
project in the State of California: Remove and reconstruct entire 
roadway pavement structural section between East Santa Inez (PM 12.3) 
and Murchison Drive (PM 15.8). A total of 34 new drainage inlets would 
be installed, and 25 existing drainage inlets would be modified to 
conform to changes to curb ramps. All existing reinforced concrete 
pipes, clay pipes, and metal pipes smaller than 18 inches would be 
replaced with 18-inch polyvinyl chloride pipes. All existing sidewalks 
from East Santa Inez Avenue (PM 12.3) to Dufferin Avenue (PM 15.3) 
would be upgraded, ranging from 5 to 6 feet in width, to comply with 
ADA standards. Other pedestrian improvements include touch-free APS and 
CPS at signalized intersections, pedestrian hybrid beacons at 
uncontrolled intersections, realignment of existing crosswalks, advance 
stop pavement markings, adjustments to signal timing to provide for a 
leading pedestrian interval. Two design options regarding utilities are 
being evaluated (1) Utility poles would be removed and relocated at 
various locations throughout the project limits to conform to 
infrastructure upgrades, or (2) existing electrical transmission, 
telecommunications, and cable TV lines that currently run along poles 
above the roadway would be relocated underground from Barroilhet Avenue 
(PM 12.9) to Ray Drive/Rosedale Avenue (PM 15.2). The actions by the 
Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are 
described in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) approved
