ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions 
by FHWA and other Federal agencies.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal

highway project, the roadway widening of Mill Creek Canyon Road, 
modifications to parking areas, establishment of a bicycle lane, and 
drainage improvements to the upper 4.6 miles of Mill Creek Canyon Road 
near Millcreek, Utah. The FHWA's Finding of No Significant Impact 
(FONSI) provides details on the Selected Alternative for the proposed 
improvements.

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 17, 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.
