Rockland and Westchester Counties, New York.

DATES: A claim seeking judicial review of the Federal agency actions on 
the highway project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 31, 2012, the FHWA published a 
``Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions'' on the Tappan Zee Hudson 
River Crossing (New NY Bridge) Project in New York, in the Federal 
Register at FR Doc. 2012-26799. Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing (New 
NY Bridge) Project is located on the Hudson River between the Village 
of South Nyack in Rockland County on the west and the Village of 
Tarrytown in Westchester County on the east. The bridge carries 
Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan 
Zee Hudson River (New NY Bridge) Project involves the replacement of 
the existing bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and 
westbound traffic), to the north of its existing location, carrying 8-
lanes of vehicular traffic and a Shared Use Path. An Environmental 
Assessment (EA) was prepared for Facilities and Bicycle/Pedestrian 
Connections associated with the Shared Use Path to determine if 
potential significant adverse impacts would result from the proposed 
work in accordance with the requirements of the Council on 
Environmental Quality's regulations for implementing the procedural 
provisions of the NEPA of 1969 (40 CFR 1500-1508), the FHWA's 
Environmental Impact and Related Procedures; 23 CFR 771.130, and the 
New York SEQRA (6 NYCRR Part 617 and 17 NYCRR Part 15), and a number of 
other federal and state regulations and requirements, including Section 
106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and Section 4(f) of the 
U.S. Department of Transportation Act. Notice is hereby given that 
subsequent to the earlier FHWA notice, FHWA has taken final agency 
actions by issuing an Environmental Assessment/Finding of No 
Significant Impact (EA/FONSI) and determining that a SEIS is not 
required for the Facilities and Bicycle/Pedestrian Connections 
associated with the Shared Use Path. The actions by FHWA are described 
in the February 2016 EA and FONSI Issued on June 10, 2016. The 
documents are available by contacting the FHWA or the New York State 
Thruway Authority at the addresses provided above. The documents can 
also be viewed and downloaded from the project Web site at
