Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on the Round Hill Pines 
Access Project Along U.S. Highway 50 in the State of Nevada

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions 
by FHWA and other federal agencies.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal 
agencies that are final. This final agency action relates to a proposed 
highway project, the relocation of the Round Hill Pines Resort access 
road and U.S. Highway 50 intersection, construction of a new access 
road to the Round Hill Pines Resort, and improvements to a 0.35-mile 
segment of U.S. Highway 50 near Zephyr Cove, Nevada. The FHWA's Finding 
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) provides details on the Selected 
Alternative for the proposed improvements.

DATES: By this notice, FHWA 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 March 17, 2022. 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ryan Mathis, Project Manager, Federal 
Highway Administration, Central Federal Lands Highway Division, 12300 
W. Dakota Avenue, Suite 380, Lakewood, Colorado 80228, Telephone (720) 
963-3728, Email: [email protected]. Regular office hours are 8:00 
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken a 
final agency action by issuing FONSI for the following highway project 
in the State of Nevada: Round Hill Pines Access Project near Zephyr 
Cove in Douglas County.
    The project includes the relocation of the Round Hill Pines Resort 
access road and U.S. Highway 50 intersection just north from the 
existing location. The Round Hill Pines Resort is located within the 
United States Forest Service, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit. The 
Project will also include widening along U.S. Highway 50 at the 
relocated intersection to accommodate a median left turn bay and an 
acceleration lane. The median left turn bay would accommodate travelers 
who are headed northbound along U.S. Highway 50 and are turning across 
traffic to enter the Round Hill Pines Resort. U.S. Highway 50 within 
the project area would receive a pavement mill and overlay, lane 
striping, pavement markings, and a safety edge in addition to the 
relocated intersection widening. The Round Hill Pines Resort access 
road would be approximately 0.14-mile in length constructed on new 
alignment and would accommodate two travel lanes with safety shoulders.
    The FHWA's action, related actions by other Federal agencies, and 
the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the 
Environmental Assessment (EA) approved on May 28, 2021, and the FONSI 
approved on October 1, 2021, and other documents in the project file. 
The EA and FONSI are available for review by contacting FHWA at the 
addresses provided above. In addition, these documents can be viewed 
and downloaded from the project website: https://highways.dot.gov/
