Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
California

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for Judicial Review of Actions 
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), pursuant to 
23 U.S.C. 327, and other federal agencies.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans, that are final within the meaning 
of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway 
project, on State Route 29, in the County of Lake, 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 July 14, 
2017. 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.

Chief R-1, Caltrans Environmental Planning Office--District 2, 1657

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and the California Department of 
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed, environmental responsibilities for 
this project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that the 
Caltrans has taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1)

project in the State of California: Widening and improvement of an 
eight-mile segment of State Route (SR) 29, beginning 0.2 miles east of 
Diener Drive and ending 0.6 miles west of the SR 175 intersection, in 
Lake County. The project will widen and improve the existing two-lane 
highway to a four-lane divided expressway with access control to 
provide a modern transportation facility that will provide adequate 
capacity to accommodate anticipated traffic growth and improve safety 
and operation of SR 29. The actions by the Federal agencies, and the 
laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project, approved on November 23, 
2016, in the FHWA Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) issued on
