SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to

west of Jack Rabbit Trail, in a portion of unincorporated Riverside

project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before November

provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such claim, 
then that shorter time period still applies.
