Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Transportation 
Project in Maryland

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

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

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces action taken by FHWA and other Federal 
agencies that are final. The actions relate to the Rebuild of the I-695 
(Baltimore Beltway) Francis Scott Key Bridge over Patapsco River and 
its approaches. The actions grant licenses, permits, or approvals for 
the Project. The emergency Categorical Exclusion (CE) under the 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other documents in the 
Project file provide details on the Project and FHWA's actions.

DATES: By this notice, FHWA 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 December 23, 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.
