Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
Utah

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 the FHWA that are final 
within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to the 
proposed Mountain View Corridor project in Salt Lake and Utah Counties 
in the State of Utah. Those actions grant approvals for the project. 
The project includes both highway and transit components. FHWA has 
approval authority over the highway components of the project.

DATES: By this notice, the 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 FHWA actions on the highway project will be barred unless the 
claim is filed on or before June 15, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FHWA has 
taken final agency actions by issuing approvals for the highway 
components of the Mountain View Corridor (``MVC'') project in Salt Lake 
and Utah Counties, Utah. At full build-out, the highway components of 
the MVC project will include a 44 mile limited-access freeway with at-
grade separations at all intersecting roadways. It will begin at I-80 
in Salt Lake City in Salt Lake County at about 5800 West and continue 
south connecting to I-15 at 2100 North in the city of Lehi in Utah 
County. The highway will be constructed on new alignment and will be 
implemented using a phased approach, which is described in the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and the Record of Decision (ROD). 
The MVC project will also include a transit component on 5600 West in 
Salt Lake County being sponsored by the Utah Transit Authority; FHWA 
does not have approval authority over the transit component of the 
project. The actions by FHWA, and the laws under which such actions 
were taken, are described in the FEIS, which was approved on September 
3, 2008, in the FHWA Record ROD which was issued on November 17, 2008, 
and in other documents in the FHWA administrative record. The FEIS, 
ROD, and other documents in the FHWA administrative record file are
