SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA and other

139(I)(1). The actions relate to a proposed transportation improvement 
project (Logan 200 East, minor arterial project) in Logan, Cache County

approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA is advising the public of final agency
