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(1)(1). These actions relate to a proposed Highway project on State 
Route 50 between Post Mile L0.9 to 12.8 in Sacramento County, State of 
California. 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. 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 January 2, 2008. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FHWA and

approvals for the following highway project in the State of California. 
This project would improve safety and provide congestion relief on 
State Route 50, between post mile 0.9 to 12.8, in Sacramento County, 
California. This would be accomplished by adding bus/carpool lanes in 
the existing median of U.S. 50 between the above post miles. The 
purpose of the project is to increase mobility, provide an option for 
reliable peak period travel time, improve traffic operations, use the 
highway facilities as efficiently as possible, and provide incentives 
for commuters.
