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 
by UDOT.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by UDOT that are final Federal agency actions. 
The final agency actions relate to a proposed highway project that 
includes modifications to the existing interchange on Interstate 15 (I-
15) between approximate mileposts 337.5 and 339, at State Route 97 
(5600 South); and roadway widening of 5600 South in Roy City, Weber 
County, Utah. Those actions grant licenses, permits and/or approvals 
for the project. UDOT's Finding of No Significant Impact provides 
details on the Selected Alternative for the proposed improvements.

DATES: By this notice, FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, 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 June 28, 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 still applies.

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

final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and/or approvals for the 5600 South project in the 
State of Utah.
    The project proposes to modify an existing interchange on I-15 at 
5600 South and to widen and improve 5600 South for the purposes of

Roy City, Weber County, Utah. Planned improvements include additional 
lanes, bicyclist and pedestrian facilities on 5600 South between the 
interchange and approximately 3500 West; realignment of Freeway Park 
Drive; and bridge and flyover construction and improvements to existing 
bridges at the interchange. The project is included in UDOT's adopted
