SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of the FDOT, is issuing this notice to
announce actions taken by FDOT and other Federal agencies that are
final agency actions. These actions relate to the proposed Interstate
75 (I-75) Improvements Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study

project will reduce congestion and improve reliability on I-75 from
south of State Road (S.R.) 44 to S.R. 200, a distance of approximately
22.5 miles. Improvements consist of adding auxiliary lanes between
interchanges, bridge overpass replacement and widening, and the
construction of stormwater management facilities. These actions grant
licenses, permits, or approvals for the project.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of FDOT, 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 listed
highway project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before
February 13, 2025. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review
of a claim provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such
