SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that an

Department of the Environment, US

The study will also address the need
to safely accommodate the navigational
needs of boaters, pedestrian and bicycle
traffic, and the recreational needs of
fishermen. Pedestrians, fishermen, and
cyclists currently share a narrow fivefoot sidewalk along the existing bridge,
which creates potential conflicts among
the various users. Finally, the study will
investigate aesthetic enhancements to
any crossing representative of a coastal
gateway resort.
Alternatives under consideration
include taking no action and four build
alternatives with various options for a
new bridge or bridge reconstruction.
Under all of these alternatives, the
existing bridge would be retained for
possible use by pedestrians, cyclists and
fisherman. The bridge is eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of
Historic Places.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State, and local
government agencies, and to private
organizations and citizens and citizen
groups who have previously expressed
or are known to have an interest in this
proposal. It is anticipated that a Public
Hearing will be held in the Spring of
2008. A Draft EIS will be available for
public and agency review and comment
prior to the Public Hearing. Public
notice will be given of the availability
of the Draft EIS for review and of the
time and place of the hearing. A
Scoping Meeting was held in March of
2005, and Open House Public
Workshops were held in Ocean City in
June and October of 2005, June of 2006
and May/June of 2007, to solicit
opinions and ideas on proposed
improvements from local citizens.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action are
addressed and all significant issues
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Comments or questions concerning
these proposed action and EIS should be
directed to the FHWA at the address
provided above.

Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions
on the Newberg Dundee
Transportation Improvement Project
(Tier 1), Oregon 99W: Yamhill County,
OR
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims
for Judicial Review of Actions by
FHWA.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces actions
taken by the FHWA that are final within
the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The
actions relate to a proposed highway
project, the Newberg Dundee
Transportation Improvement Project
(Tier 1), Oregon 99W, extending
approximately 11 miles from the eastern
terminus east of Newberg in the Rex Hill
area, to the western terminus where
Oregon 99W intersects with OR18
(McDougal Corner) west of Dundee, near
Dayton in the County of Yamhill, State
of Oregon. The Federal actions, taken as
a result of a tiered environmental review
process under the National
Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C.
4321–4351 (NEPA), and implementing
regulations on tiering, 40 CFR 1502.20,
40 CFR 1508.28, and 23 CFR part 771,
determined certain issues related to the
proposed project. Those Tier 1 decisions
will be used by Federal agencies in
subsequent proceedings, including
decisions whether to grant licenses,
permits, and approvals for the highway
project. Tier 1 decisions also may be
relied upon by State and local agencies
in proceedings on the proposed project.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA is
advising the public that it has made
decisions that are subject to 23 U.S.C.
139(l)(1) and are final within the
meaning of that law. A claim seeking
judicial review of the Tier 1 Federal
agency decisions on the proposed
highway project will be barred unless
the claim is filed on or before May 7,
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
period still applies.
