Texas

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 a proposed highway project, State 
Highway (SH) 360 from East Sublett Road/West Camp Wisdom Road to U.S. 
Highway 287 in the counties of Tarrant, Ellis, and Johnson in the State 
of Texas. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the 
projects.

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 on the highway project will be barred 
unless the claim is filed on or before August 25, 2014. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FHWA and 
other Federal agencies have taken final agency actions by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the highway project in the State 
of Texas: State Highway (SH) 360 from East Sublett Road/West Camp 
Wisdom Road to U.S. Highway 287 in Tarrant, Ellis, and Johnson 
Counties. Project Reference Number: TxDOT CSJ: 2266-02-136. Project 
Type: The project will transition from the existing 4-lane (two

Camp Wisdom Road to Debbie Lane/Ragland Road and then to a 6-lane 
(three mainlanes in each direction) divided tollway from Debbie Lane/
Ragland Road to US 287. The project would also include improvements at 
the SH 360/US 287 interchange. Although the proposed project would be 
constructed primarily within the existing right of way (ROW), a total 
of approximately 6.0 acres of proposed ROW are needed to transition 
cross streets from the existing roadway width to the ultimate width at 
the SH 360 frontage roads. Project Length: Approximately nine and two 
tenth (9.2) miles. General Purpose: The purpose of the proposed project 
is to add mainlanes to the existing frontage road system in order to 
provide effective transportation while enhancing mobility within the 
rapidly developing SH 360 corridor for the growing population in 
southern Tarrant, northwest Ellis, and northeast Johnson counties. The 
actions by the Federal agencies on the project, and the laws under 
which such actions were taken, are described in the documented 
environmental assessment (EAs), issued in connection with the project 
and Finding Of No Significant Impact (FONSI) document obtained on 
January 16, 2014; and in other documents in the FHWA project record for 
the project. The EA, FONSI and other documents from the FHWA project 
record files for the listed project is available by contacting the FHWA
