[[Page 13948]]

announce actions taken by Caltrans and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions 
relate to a proposed highway project known as CURE Safety Improvement 
that proposes to remove all fixed objects in the clear recovery zone 
along a 4-mile section of the southbound roadside of Highway 101 
between King City and Greenfield in Monterey 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 
14, 2015. 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.

Environmental Branch Chief, Caltrans, 50 Higuera Street, San Luis 
Obispo, CA 93401, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., (805) 542-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned,

Caltrans and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have taken final agency 
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing licenses, permits,

California: The project would remove approximately 320 mature Tasmanian 
blue gum trees (Eucalyptus globulus) and one Monterey cypress tree 
(Cupressus macrocarpa), remove metal beam guardrail from the edge of 
the pavement, replace drainage headwalls with flared end sections or 
drainage inlets, and relocate overhead utility pole guy wires and 
mission bell poles in the clear recovery zone. Additional work at these 
locations includes minor grading to reestablish flow lines, applying 
permanent erosion control, removing and replacing damaged barbed wire 
fencing, installing planting with irrigation, and constructing three 
maintenance vehicle pullouts. The primary purpose of the project would 
remove all fixed objects in the clear recovery zone along a 4-mile 
section of the southbound roadside of Highway 101 between King City and 
Greenfield in Monterey County. The actions by the Federal agencies, and 
the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the
