Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
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, bridge replacement on at Post Mile 31.5 
on State Route 1 in Mendocino County, 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 August 
12, 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: For Caltrans: Brandon Larsen, 
Environmental Branch Chief, 1656 Union Street, Eureka, CA, 8 a.m. to 4 
p.m., (707) 441-5730, or [email protected]. For FHWA, contact 
Shawn Oliver at (916) 498-5040 or email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, FHWA assigned, and 
the 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: Replace the Elk Creek Bridge over Elk Creek at 
Post Mile 31.5 on State Route 1 south of the community of Elk in 
Mendocino County. Built in 1938, the existing bridge is near the end of 
its useful life. A new bridge will better accommodate vehicles, 
pedestrians, and bicyclists. The actions by the Federal agencies, and 
the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the
