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, replacement of Morrill Canyon Bridge 
(Bridge No. 56 0169, Post Mile 3.08) and Strawberry Creek Bridge 
(Bridge No. 56 0180 Post Mile 53.5) on State Route 74 in the County of 
Riverside, State of California. Those actions grant licenses, permits, 
and approvals for the project.

DATES: 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 30, 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.
