Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
California

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions 
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), pursuant to 
23 U.S.C. 327.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans that are final within the meaning of 
23 U.S.C. 39(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway project, 
the Interstate 80 Eastbound Truck Scales Relocation Project, in 
Cordelia in Solano County, State of California. Those actions grant 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, 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 June 7, 
2010. 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: For Caltrans: Melanie Brent, Chief, 
Office of Environmental Analysis, 510-286-5231, melanie_brent@dot.ca.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and the California Department of 
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed, environmental responsibilities for 
this project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that the 
Caltrans has 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: Interstate 80 (I-80) Eastbound 
Truck Scales Relocation Project in Cordelia in Solano County, State of 
California. The project constructs a larger truck scale facility 
approximately 2,500 feet to the east of the current facility. 
Associated on- and off-ramps would be constructed, and, upon completion 
of the project, the existing facility would be demolished. The purpose 
of the project is to reduce congestion in that section of I-80 and to 
increase the efficiency of truck weighing and inspection operations. 
The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such 
actions were taken, are described in the Environmental Assessment (EA) 
for the project, approved on 16 October 2009, in the Finding of No 
Significant Impact (FONSI) issued on 16 October 2009, and in other 
documents in the FHWA project records. The EA, FONSI, and other project 
records are available by contacting Caltrans at the addresses provided 
above. The Caltrans EA and FONSI can be viewed and downloaded from the 
project Web site at https://www.sta.dst.ca.us/projects-truckscales.html.
