Notice of Final Federal Agency Action on Proposed Highway in 
Illinois

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 and other 
Federal agencies that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 
139(l)(1). The actions relate to the proposed Illinois Route 29 (IL 29) 
highway project, for construction of an access-controlled, four-lane 
freeway on new right-of-way between the existing IL 6 interchange near 
Mossville and the proposed Chillicothe interchange north of Chillicothe 
in Peoria County, and the widening of IL 29 to four-lanes, largely on 
existing right-of-way, from north of Chillicothe to Interstate 180 (I-
180) in Peoria, Marshall, Putnam, and Bureau Counties, Illinois. Those 
actions grant licenses, permits and approvals for 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 Federal agency actions of the highway project will be barred 
unless the claim is filed on or before August 2, 2010. 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.
