Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway In 
Utah

AGENCY: Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA), Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions 
Taken by UDOT on behalf of FHWA.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces certain actions taken by UDOT that are 
final Federal agency actions. These actions relate to a proposed 
highway project on State Route 30 (SR-30), from SR-23 to 1000 West, in 
the County of Cache, State of Utah. Those actions grant licenses, 
permits and/or approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, is advising the 
public of final Federal 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 
March 25, 2019. 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.

Environmental Services, UDOT Environmental Services, PO Box 143600,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective January 17, 2017, FHWA assigned to 
UDOT certain responsibilities of FHWA for environmental review, 
consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal 
environmental laws and regulations for highway projects in Utah, 
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Actions taken by UDOT on FHWA's behalf 
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 constitute Federal agency actions for 
purposes of Federal law. Notice is hereby given that UDOT has taken 
final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the SR-30, SR-23 to 1000 West 
project in the State of Utah. This project proposes to add roadway 
capacity and safety improvements to SR-30 from 1000 West to SR-23. 
Improvements from 1000 West to 1900 West include four travel lanes with 
a 14-foot-wide center turn median, 12-foot-wide shoulders, and curb, 
gutter, and sidewalk. Improvements from 1900 West to SR-23 include a 
center median, three travel lanes from 1900 West to just west of 3200 
West, two travel lanes from just west of 3200 West to milepost 103.3, 
four travel lanes from milepost 103.3 to SR-23, drainage improvements, 
access modifications to the PacifiCorp Lower Logan River Access site, 
and intersection improvements at SR-30 and SR-23. In addition, the 
project proposes a separate bicycle and pedestrian trail (12-feet wide) 
along SR-30 from 1900 West to SR-23. These improvements were identified 
in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as the Highway Action 
Alternative (Alternative 6E) and the Separate Pedestrian and Bike Path 
Alternative. The actions by UDOT, and the laws under which such actions 
were taken, are described in the combined Final EIS and UDOT Record of
