DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Notice of Availability of the Finding of No Significant Impact 
for the I-15; 24th Street Interchange Project in Utah and Final Federal 
Agency Actions

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of 
Transportation, Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT).

ACTION: Notice of availability and notice of limitations on claims for 
judicial review of actions by UDOT and other Federal agencies.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, is issuing this notice to 
announce the availability of the Finding of No Significant Impact 
(FONSI) for the Interstate 15 (I-15); 24th Street Interchange, in Ogden 
City, Weber County, Utah. In addition, this notice is being issued to 
announce actions taken by UDOT that are final Federal agency actions 
related to the project referenced above. Those actions grant licenses, 
permits and/or approvals for the project. The FONSI provides details on 
the Selected Alternative for the proposed improvements.

DATES: This decision became operative on November 26, 2024. By this 
notice, FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, 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 on or before May 9, 2025. If the Federal law 
that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of 
less than 150 days for filing such claim, then that shorter time period 
still applies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brandon Weston, Environmental Program 
Manager, UDOT Environmental Services, PO Box 143600, Salt Lake City, UT 
84114; (801)-965-4603; email: [email protected]. UDOT's normal 
business hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (mountain time zone), Monday 
through Friday, except State and Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental review, consultation, and 
other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for 
this action are being, or have been, carried out by UDOT pursuant to 23 
U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dated May 26, 2022, 
and executed by FHWA and UDOT. Actions taken by UDOT on FHWA's behalf 
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 constitute Federal agency actions for 
purposes of Federal law. Notice is hereby given that UDOT has taken 
final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and/or approvals for the I-15; 24th Street 
Interchange project in the State of Utah.
    The project proposes to modify the local roadway network and serve 
local travel by replacing the existing partial Interstate 15 (I-15)/
24th Street interchange with a fully directional single point urban 
interchange (SPUI). The existing on- and off-ramps at 24th Street would 
be removed, but the existing I-15 underpass would be retained to 
provide local access. The intersection at Pennsylvania Avenue and New 
Midland Drive in Ogden City would be converted to a signalized 
intersection. The purpose of the project is to improve modal 
interrelationships between the local road network, the interstate, the 
railroad, sidewalks, and bike routes; and also improve level of service 
and reduce vehicle queues at intersections within the study area.
    These improvements were identified in the Environmental Assessment 
(EA) prepared for the project by UDOT as the Proposed Action. The 
project is identified in UDOT's adopted 2023-2028 State Transportation 
Improvement Program as project number 15683 with funding identified for 
right-of-way acquisition. The project is also included in the Wasatch 
Front Regional Council (WFRC) 2023-2050 Regional Transportation Plan 
approved in May 2024 (latest amendment August 2024) and the WFRC 2024-
2029 Transportation Improvement Plan.
    The actions by UDOT, and the laws under which such actions were 
taken, are described in the EA approved on March 12, 2024, and the 
FONSI (Finding of No Significant Impact for I-15; 24 Street 
Interchange; in Weber County, Utah) Project No. S-I15-8(158)343 
approved on November 26, 2024, and other documents in the project 
records. The EA and FONSI are available for review by contacting UDOT 
at the address provided above. In addition, these documents can be 
viewed and downloaded from the project website at https://udotinput.utah.gov/24thstreetinterchange. This notice applies to the
