California

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.

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

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 
along Interstate 805 from the proposed Carroll Canyon Road Direct 
Access Ramp (DAR) to the I-805/I-5 merge in the County of San Diego, 
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 October 
13, 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: 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 
Caltrans and the USFWS have taken final agency actions subject to 23 
U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing licenses, permits, and approvals for the 
following highway project in the State of California. The California 
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to extend Carroll 
Canyon Road under Interstate 805 (I-805), construct north facing Direct

and add north and southbound High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on I-
805 from the DARs, north to the I-805 junction with I-5. The project 
extends for a length of 2.2 mi (3.5 km). The project would provide 
additional access for motorists to I-805 that are currently 
experiencing substantial delay at the existing Mira Mesa Boulevard/
Sorrento Valley Road interchange. The actions by the Federal agencies 
and the laws under which such actions were taken are described in the 
Final Environmental Assessment (EA), and a Finding of No Significant
