ACTION:
Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions by FHWA and Other Federal Agencies.
SUMMARY:
This notice announces actions taken by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) pursuant to its assigned responsibilities under 23 U.S.C. 327 that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). These actions relate to a proposed highway project, the State Route 84 (SR 84) Expressway Widening Project between approximately Jack London Boulevard and Ruby Hill Drive (Post Miles 22.5 to 27.3) in the County of Alameda, State of California. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project.

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 March 18, 2009. 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.
