California

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of 
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, the modification of the existing Hazel 
Avenue/U.S. 50 interchange in the County of Sacramento, 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(/)(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 
19, 2021. 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.

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 the Caltrans has 
taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(/)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway project in 
the State of California.
    The County of Sacramento, in cooperation with Caltrans and the City 
of Rancho Cordova, proposes to modify the existing Hazel Avenue/US 50 
interchange, and extend and grade-separate Hazel Avenue over Folsom 
Boulevard and the SPTC-JPA rail corridor. Hazel Avenue will be extended 
south to a proposed intersection with the future Atlanta Street (a new 
roadway that will be constructed as part of the Easton Place 
development). The project limits along US 50 begin approximately 3,200 
feet west of the existing Hazel Avenue overcrossing and extend 2,500 
feet east of the Natoma Overhead (post miles 15.1 to 15.4). 
Improvements along Folsom Boulevard would extend from approximately 
1,200 feet west of the

Hazel Avenue intersection to 900 feet east of the intersection. The 
project purpose is to reduce congestion, improve traffic operations, 
accommodate travel demand due to planned and approved developments, and 
improve safety of all modes of travel, including bicycles and 
pedestrians. The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under 
which such actions were taken, are described in the Final Environmental 
Assessment (FEA)/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the 
project, approved on July 2, 2020, and in other documents in Caltrans'
