ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions 
by FHWA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and other Federal 
agencies.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the USACE that are 
final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139 (I)(1). The actions relate to 
a proposed highway project, Fayetteville Outer Loop, from I-95 south of 
Fayetteville to U.S. 401 (Ramsey Street) in Fayetteville, North 
Carolina, Cumberland and Robeson Counties, North Carolina. Those 
actions grant a permit and approvals for the project.

actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(I)(1). A claim seeking judicial review 
of the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred 
unless the claim is filled on or before September 8, 2009. 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 applies.
