AGENCY:

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions by FHWA and other Federal agencies.

SUMMARY:

This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal agencies that are final. The actions relate to the proposed realignment of approximately 13 miles of State Route 361 (SR 361) between Gabbs, NV and Middlegate, NV. The project includes construction of a rerouted segment of SR 361 due to the US Navy's Fallon Range Training Complex expansion. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project.

DATES:

By this notice, FHWA 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 listed highway project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before December 14, 2026. 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.

The project limits include approximately 13 miles of SR 361 between Gabbs, NV and Middlegate, NV located east of the existing SR 361 alignment. The proposed realignment of SR 361 will maintain a north-south highway in central Nevada, serving rural communities including Gabbs, NV and Luning, NV.

The actions by FHWA and other Federal agencies on the project, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project, approved on February 27, 2026, in the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), approved on July 14, 2026, and in other documents in the project records.
