These actions grant approvals for project implementation pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other laws, regulations, and executive orders. DATES: A claim seeking judicial review of the agency actions on the Project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before November 12, 2024. If Federal law later authorizes a time period of less than 2 years for filing such claim, then that shorter time period applies. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For the Authority: Scott Rothenberg, NEPA Assignment Manager, Environmental Services, California High-Speed Rail Authority, telephone: (916) 403–6936; email: Scott.Rothenberg@hsr.ca.gov. For FRA: Lana Lau, Supervisory Environmental Protection Specialist, Office of Environmental Program Management (RRD–30), telephone: (202) 923–5314; email: Lana.Lau@dot.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 23, 2019, the FRA assigned, and the State of California acting through the Authority assumed, environmental responsibilities for the California HighSpeed Rail (HSR) System pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327.

Phase 2 would extend the HSR system from the Central Valley (starting at the Merced Station) to the state’s capital in Sacramento and from Los Angeles to San Diego.

A further objective is to provide an interface with commercial airports, mass transit, and the highway network, and to relieve capacity constraints of the existing transportation system as increases in intercity travel demand in California occur, in a manner sensitive to and protective of California’s unique natural resources. The Authority has selected the HSR Build Alternative A, with modified Caltrain stations for HSR at 4th and King Street and Millbrae Station, the Millbrae Station Design, the East Brisbane light maintenance facility, and associated project elements, for the portion of the Project between the 4th and King Street Station in San Francisco and Scott Boulevard in Santa Clara, as identified in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS) and Record of Decision (ROD) for the Project, because the Selected Alternative (1) best satisfies the Purpose, Need, and Objectives for the Project and (2) minimizes impacts on the natural and human environment by utilizing an existing transportation corridor where practicable and incorporating mitigation measures where practicable. The Authority previously approved the portion of the Project between Scott Boulevard in Santa Clara and West Alma Avenue in San Jose (including the San Jose Diridon Station) as part of the San Jose to Merced Project Section (87 FR 37373). The actions by the Authority, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the Project’s Final EIS published on June 10, 2022, and the ROD signed on October 14, 2022. The ROD, Final EIS, and other documents will be available online in PDF at the Authority’s website (www.hsr.ca.gov) and via electronic media by calling (916) 324–1541. This notice applies to the ROD, Final EIS, and all other Federal agency decisions with respect to the Project as of the issuance date of this notice and all laws under which such actions were taken, including but not limited to: 1. NEPA; 2. Council on Environmental Quality regulations (1978); 2 2 The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) issued new regulations on July 14, 2020, effective September 14, 2020, updating the NEPA implementing procedures at 40 CFR 1500 through 1508. However, this project initiated NEPA before the effective date and relies on the CEQ regulations as they existed prior to September 14, 2020. All subsequent citations to the CEQ regulations in the ROD and Final EIS refer to the 1978 regulations, consistent with 40 CFR 1506.13 (2020) and the preamble at 85 FR 43340.
