-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to
announce actions taken by Caltrans that are final. The actions relate
to a proposed highway project (Interstate 405 [I-405]) from Interstate
5 (I-5) to State Route 55 [SR-55]) in the Cities of Irvine and Costa
Mesa, in the County of Orange, State of California. 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. Sec. 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
April 1, 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 applies.
