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 on State Route 99 at Caldwell Avenue in
Tulare County, 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 April 25,
2024. 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.
