Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on a Proposed U.S. Highway 
Project 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 FHWA and other 
Federal agencies that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 
139(l)(1). These actions relate to the proposed highway project which 
would widen Highway 101 for approximately 12.3 km (7.6 mi) from its 
current four lanes to six lanes by adding one HOV lane in each 
direction from just north of Steele Lane in Santa Rosa to Windsor River 
Road-Old Redwood Highway in the Town Windsor in Sonoma County in the 
State of California. The project also would provide auxiliary lanes, 
interchange modifications and ramp improvements.

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 project will be barred unless the 
claim is filed on or before September 9, 2008. If the Federal law that 
authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of less 
than 180 days for filing such a claim, then that shorter time period 
still applies.

Environmental Analysis, 510-286-5231, melanie.brent@dot.ca.gov.

Wildlife Service) under the Federal Endangered Species Act) 401 Water 
Quality Certification (from the Regional Water Quality Control Board)

Water Act).
