Michigan

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Decision by FHWA and Notice of Limitation of Claims 
for Judicial Review of Actions by FHWA and Other Federal Agencies.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of a Record of Decision 
by FHWA pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental 
Protection Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321, as amended and 
the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500-
1508). In addition, this Notice announces actions taken by FHWA and 
other Federal agencies that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 
139(1)(1). These actions relate to proposed improvements to US-31, M-
104, and construction of a new M-231 route in Ottawa County, Michigan. 
These actions grant approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA is advising the public of final agency 
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 771 and 23 U.S.C. 139(1)(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 November 
16, 2010 (180 days from May 20, 2010). If the Federal law that 
authorizes that judicial review of a claim provides a time period of 
less than 180 days for filing such claim, then that shorter time period
