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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA and other

replacement of the Antlers Bridge (Bridge No. 06-0089) and realignment

unless the claim is filed on or before December 16, 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FHWA and 
other Federal agencies have taken final agency actions subject to 23 
U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing licenses, permits, and approvals for the 
following highway project in the State of California: Replacement of 
the Antlers Bridge (Bridge No. 06-0089) and realignment of a 0.42-mile 
segment of Interstate 5, in Shasta County, near the community of 
Lakehead. The existing steel truss bridge was constructed in 1941 and 
exhibits signs of structural fatigue. Additionally, the section of 
highway abutting the south end of the bridge includes a series of 
curves and has an accident rate higher than average for similar 
highways statewide. The proposed project entails construction of a new 
bridge on an alignment immediately east of the existing bridge. The 
existing bridge will be removed once the new bridge is operational. A 
0.42-mile section of highway south of the bridge will be reconstructed 
to improve the alignment. The actions by the Federal agencies, and the 
laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the Final 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project, approved on September 
29, 2006, in the FHWA Finding of No
