Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
California

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 the California 
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) pursuant to its assigned 
responsibilities under 23 U.S.C. 327 that are final within the meaning 
of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). These actions relate to a proposed highway 
project, the State Route 84 (SR 84) Expressway Widening Project between 
approximately Jack London Boulevard and Ruby Hill Drive (Post Miles 
22.5 to 27.3) in the County of Alameda, 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 
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 March 18, 
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.

certain Federal agencies have taken final agency actions subject to 23 
U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by approving the SR 84 Expressway Widening Project in 
the State of California. When completed, the project will widen SR 84 
from two to four lanes between Ruby Hill Drive and Stanley Boulevard 
and two to six lanes between Stanley Boulevard and Jack London
