Washington

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions 
by FHWA and other Federal agencies.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal 
agencies that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The 
actions relate to the proposed I-405/NE 195th to SR 527 Northbound 
Auxiliary Lane Project in the City of Bothell, King and Snohomish 
Counties, in the State of Washington. These actions grant licenses, 
permits, and approvals for the Project.

DATES: By this notice, 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 any of the listed highway projects 
will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before October 5, 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 still applies.

barriers, guardrails, pavement markings, roadway signs, intelligent 
transportation systems, and illumination systems.
    These actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which 
such actions were taken, are described in the March 2009 Environmental
