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 Interstate 15 (I-15) at and in the vicinity of the
Payson Main Street Interchange (exit 250) in the County of Utah, 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
August 5, 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.

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 I-15; Payson Main Street
Interchange project in the State of Utah. This project proposes to
address current and future travel demand and improve safety at the
Payson Main Street Interchange. The project includes reconfiguring the
Main Street Interchange to increase capacity and realigning Main Street
to connect to 900 North. A new interchange would be constructed
northeast of the existing Main Street Interchange, connecting Nebo
Beltway to I-15. Nebo Beltway--a new five lane arterial road--would
connect I-15 to Main Street (SR-115) and SR-198. Braided ramps (i.e.,
ramps that cross over each other) would connect the Main Street and
Nebo Beltway interchanges. Finally, the railroad west of I-15 would be
realigned to accommodate interchange improvements and provide grade
separation at surface streets. These improvements were identified in
the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as Alternative C1. The actions
by UDOT, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are
described in the EIS and UDOT Record of Decision (ROD) for the project
(Record of Decision, Environmental Impact Statement, 1-15; Payson Main
Street Interchange in Utah County, Utah, Project No. F-I15-6(214)251),
issued on February 8, 2019, and in other documents in the UDOT project
records. The EIS and ROD, and other project records are available by
contacting UDOT at the address provided above. The EIS and ROD can also
be viewed and downloaded from the project website at https://www.udot.utah.gov/paysoneis/index.php.
