SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to

to a proposed highway project, interchange improvement of Valley

Los Angeles County, State of California. Those actions grant licenses, 
permits, and approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is advising the

seeking judicial review of the Federal agency actions on the highway 
project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before November
