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, the State 

Route 46 Corridor Improvement Project 

Antelope Grade Section, approximately 

10 miles northeast of the community of 

Shandon in the County of San Luis 

Obispo and 32 miles northwest of the 

census-designated town of Lost Hills in 

the County of Kern, State of California. 

Those actions grant licenses, permits, 

and approvals for the project. 

DATES: With 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’s 

actions on the highway project will be 

barred unless the claim is filed on or 

before July 29, 2024. If the federal law 

that authorizes judicial review of a 

claim provides a time period of less 

than 150 days for filing such a claim, 

then that shorter time period still 

applies.

Motor Carriers of Passengers and Motor 

Carriers of Property.

Respondents: Insurance underwriters 

for insurance companies and financial 

specialists for surety companies of 

motor carriers of property (Forms MCS– 

90 and MCS–82) and passengers (Forms 

MCS–90B and MCS–82B), and motor 

carrier compliance officers employed by 

motor carriers to store and maintain 

insurance and/or surety bond 

documentation in motor carrier 

vehicles. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

413,948. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

FMCSA estimates that it takes 2 minutes 

to complete the Endorsement for Motor 

Carrier Policies of Insurance for Public 

Liability (Forms MCS–90 for property 

carriers and MCS–90B for passenger 

carriers) or the Motor Carrier Public 

Liability Surety Bond (Forms MCS–82

passenger carriers); 1 minute to store/ 

maintain documents at the motor 

carrier’s principal place of business (49

minute per vehicle to place the 

respective document on board the 

vehicle as required for non-U.S.- 

domiciled carriers (49 CFR 387.7(f); 49 

CFR 387.31(f)).

Background 

The Secretary of Transportation is 

responsible for implementing 

regulations which establish minimum 

levels of financial responsibility for: (1) 

for-hire motor carriers of property to 

cover public liability, property damage, 

and environmental restoration, and (2) 

for-hire motor carriers of passengers to 

cover public liability and property 

damage. The Endorsement for Motor 

Carrier Policies of Insurance for Public 

Liability (Forms MCS–90/90B) and the 

Motor Carrier Public Liability Surety 

Bond (Forms MCS–82/82B) contain the 

minimum amount of information 

necessary to document that a motor 

carrier of property or passengers has 

obtained, and has in effect, the 

minimum levels of financial 

responsibility as set forth in applicable 

regulations (49 CFR 387.9 (motor 

carriers of property) and 49 CFR 

387.33T (motor carriers of passengers)). 

FMCSA and the public can verify that 

a motor carrier of property or passengers 

has obtained, and has in effect, the 

required minimum levels of financial 

responsibility by reviewing the 

information enclosed within these 

documents. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the performance of 

FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of 

the estimated burden; (3) ways for 

FMCSA to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the collected 

information; and (4) ways that the 

burden could be minimized without

information.
