Project in Florida

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions 
by Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and other Federal 
agencies.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of the FDOT, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by FDOT and other Federal agencies that are 
final agency actions. These actions relate to the proposed Interstate 
75 (I-75) Improvements Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study 
(Financial Management Number 452074-1). The proposed I-75 Improvements 
project will reduce congestion and improve reliability on I-75 from 
S.R. 200 to S.R. 326, a distance of approximately 8 miles. Improvements 
consist of adding auxiliary lanes between interchanges, bridge overpass 
replacement and widening, and the construction of stormwater management 
facilities.

These actions grant licenses, permits, or approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of FDOT, 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 listed 
highway project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before 
October 15, 2024. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of 
a claim provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such
