Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions 
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

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

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, replacement of Shoemaker Bridge at State 
Route 710 at the Los Angeles River in the City of Long Beach, County of 
Los Angeles, 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. 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 January 
7, 2021. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim 
provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such a claim, 
then that short time period applies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, FHWA assigned, and 
Caltrans assumed, environmental responsibilities for this project 
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that Caltrans has 
taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway project in 
the State of California.
    Caltrans in corporation with the City of Long Beach proposes a 
bridge replacement project at State Route 710 (SR-710). The proposed 
Project would reconstruct Shoemaker Bridge and realign local street 
connections to the bridge. The proposed Project limits serve as logical 
termini, or rational end points for transportation improvements and is 
sufficient to evaluate the environmental impacts of the connections 
that originate in downtown Long Beach at the south end and terminate at 
the bridge's connection to SR-710 at the north end because the Project 
purpose is to modernize the structure and geometrics of the bridge and 
to facilitate planned projects adjacent to the bridge.
    The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such 
actions were taken, are described in the Final Environmental Impact 
Report (FEIR)/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the project, 
issued on June 30, 2020, and in other documents in Caltrans' project 
records. The FEIR/FONSI and other project records are available by 
contact Caltrans at the addresses provided above. The Caltrans FEIR/
FONSI and other project records can be viewed and downloaded at the 
following City of Long Beach Shoemaker Bridge Project website.
