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 FHWA and other 
Federal agencies that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 
139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway project, that 
involves reconstruction of an interchange and related transportation 
improvements centered on the New York State Route 17 Exit 122 
interchange within the Town of Wallkill, Orange County, in the State of 
New York. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the 
project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA 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 July 27, 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey W. Kolb, P.E., Division 
Administrator, Federal Highway Administration, New York Division, Leo 
W. O'Brien Federal Building, 7th Floor, Clinton Avenue and North Pearl 
Street, Albany, New York 12207, Telephone: (518) 431-4127 or Joan

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 transportation project in the State of New York: New York 
Route 17 Exit 122 in the Town of Wallkill, Orange County. The project 
will reconstruct and rehabilitate the existing Exit 122 interchange 
ramp configuration to provide for new loop and directional ramps 
connected to relocated sections of East Main Street and Crystal Run 
Road to improve safety and operation and bring it up to current Federal 
standards for an Urban Principal Arterial Interstate. Crystal Run Road 
will be realigned to connect to East Main Street. The East Main Street 
extension will not be constructed, but the project could accommodate 
future roadway construction of an East Main Street extension if planned 
and approved through the local government planning process and built by 
others. The Crystal Run Road Bridge over NYS Route 17 will be removed 
and replaced in a location closer to the Wallkill River. Auxiliary 
ramps will be provided between Exits 122 and 121 to separate weaving 
maneuvers from the mainline NYS Route 17. The project will also include 
reasonable measures to minimize environmental impacts, and other 
landscape and aesthetic enhancements within the project limits. The 
actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions 
were taken, are described in the Final Environmental Impact Statement 
(FEIS) for the project, approved on July 21, 2008 and in the FHWA 
Record of Decision (ROD) issued on December 18, 2008. The FEIS, ROD,
