Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions 

on Proposed Highway Project in 

Wisconsin 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims 

for Judicial Review of Actions by 

FHWA. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions 

taken by the FHWA that are final within 

the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The 

actions relate to a proposed highway 

project, Interstate I–94, I–894, and U.S. 

Highway 45 (Zoo Interchange) in 

Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Those 

actions grant approvals for the project. 

The project will replace the existing 

roadway and bridges and reconfigure 

the study-area freeway system to 

address safety issues and design 

deficiencies and provide additional 

capacity. The project termini are 124th 

Street on the west, 70th Street on the 

east, Burleigh Street on the north and 

Lincoln Avenue on the south. Primary 

design features of the project include: 

All exits on the right, through traffic 

stays left; full 8- to 12-foot shoulders on 

all ramps and freeways; four lanes on 

each approach leg; three lanes on US 45 

northbound and southbound through 

the core of the interchange; two lanes on 

I–94 eastbound and westbound through 

the core of the interchange (with a wider 

median that could accommodate a third 

lane in the future); several ramps with 

two lanes instead of one; smoother 

curves on all freeway-to-freeway 

interchange ramps (minimum 45 mph 

design speed); 60 mph design speed on 

I–94 and US 45; access to and from US 

45/I–894 provided to US 18 

(Bluemound Road), but no direct access 

between I–94 and Bluemound Road. 

DATES: By this notice, the 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 within 180 days of this Federal 

Register notice. If the Federal law that 

authorizes judicial review of a claim 

provides a time period of less than 180 

days for filing such claim, then that 

shorter time period still applies.

I. Overview 

Section 3013(c) of SAFETEA–LU, 

Public Law 109–59 (August 10, 2005) 

amended 49 U.S.C. 5311(c) by 

establishing the Public Transportation 

on Indian Reservations Program (Tribal 

Transit Program or TTP). This program 

authorizes direct grants ‘‘under such 

terms and conditions as may be 

established by the Secretary’’ to Indian 

tribes for any purpose eligible under 

FTA’s Nonurbanized Area Formula 

Program, 49 U.S.C. 5311 (Section 5311 

program). Approximately $15 million is 

expected to be available for the Tribal 

Transit Program discretionary allocation 

and may include other discretionary 

program funds that become available. 

The total amount of funding available 

will be contingent on Congressional 

authorization prior to the selection of 

awardees, and based on the timing of 

such funding becoming available, may 

also include funding appropriated for 

Fiscal Year 2013. 

II. Program Purpose 

TTP funds are to be allocated for 

grants to Federally-recognized Indian 

tribes for any purpose eligible under the 

Section 5311 program. The Conference 

Report that accompanied SAFETEA–LU 

indicated that the funds set aside for 

Indian tribes in the TTP are not meant 

to replace or reduce funds that Indian 

tribes receive from States through FTA’s 

Section 5311 program. TTP funds are 

meant to complement any 5311 funds 

that applicants may be receiving. Tribal 

transit funds will be competitively 

allocated to support planning, capital, 

and operating assistance for tribal 

public transit services. 

III. Program Information
