by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), pursuant to 
23 U.S.C. 327, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE).

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans, and USACOE, that are final within 
the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed 
highway project, Interstate 10 (I-10) at Tippecanoe Avenue (post mile 
[PM] 25.3 to PM 27.3). The project is located between the Cities of San 
Bernardino and Loma Linda, in San Bernardino 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 August 
21, 2011. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim 
provides a time period of less than 180 days for filing such claim, 
then that shorter time period still applies.
