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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans that are final. The actions relate 
to a proposed highway project, [Interstate 605 (I-605)/Katella Avenue 
Interchange] in the City of Los Alamitos, County of Orange, State of 
California. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and 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(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 May 28, 2019. If the Federal law 
that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of 
less than 150 days for filing such claim, then that shorter time period 
applies.
