California

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

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, 
the US 101/Broadway Interchange Reconstruction Project in the City of 
Burlingame, County of San Mateo, State of California (Post Miles 16.30 
to 17.06). 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 November 
28, 2011. 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 certain federal agencies have taken final agency actions 
subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing licenses, permits, and 
approvals for the US 101/Broadway Interchange Reconstruction Project in 
the State of California. The project will construct a new seven-lane 
Broadway overcrossing approximately 170 feet to the north of the 
existing four-lane structure in the City of Burlingame, County of San 
Mateo. The purpose of the project is to improve traffic movements and 
access around the interchange, accommodate future traffic increases at 
adjacent intersections, improve operations at the southbound US 101 
ramps, and increase bicyclist and pedestrian access. The project length 
is 0.76 mile, and construction is anticipated to take 2 to 2.5 years. 
The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such 
actions were taken, are described in the Initial Study with Mitigated 
Negative Declaration/Environmental Assessment (IS/EA) for the project, 
approved on March 18, 2011, in the Finding of No Significant Impact 
(FONSI) issued on March 18, 2011, and in other documents in the FHWA 
project records. The IS/EA, FONSI, and other project records are 
available by contacting Caltrans at the address provided above. The 
Caltrans IS/EA and FONSI can be viewed and downloaded from the project 
Web site at http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist4/documents/101_broadway_interch/ea_235840_101bdwy_fed_1_front_matter_thru_chapter_6.pdf.
