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 January 7, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Effective July 1, 2007, FHWA assigned, and the 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.
The Caltrans proposes a project along a 9.6-mile portion of State Route 70 (SR 70) from Laurellen Road to Honcut Creek Bridge in Yuba County. The project is intended to improve travel times along the corridor which will result in greater reliability and efficiency for the movement of goods, provide better connectivity between Yuba County and the Sacramento Valley, and support the overall economic viability of the Yuba County region. This project will address operational deficiencies in the corridor, but these improvements improve the overall safety of travelers within the corridor.
