Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Transportation Project in California

AGENCY:

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

ACTION:

Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review.

SUMMARY:

The FHWA, on behalf of the California Department of Transportation (CADOT), is issuing this notice to announce actions taken by CADOT, as a cooperating agency, that are final agency actions. These actions relate to CADOT's right of way (ROW) involved in the proposed light rail transit (LRT) line that will extend through southeast Los Angeles County. The project will encroach onto CADOT ROW at four freeways: Interstate (I) 605, State Route (SR) 91, I-710 via an at-grade configuration, and I-105 via an aerial configuration.

DATES:

By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of CADOT, 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 listed highway project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before January 5, 2026. 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 still applies.

ADDRESSES:

The Record of Decision (ROD) issued by CADOT as a cooperating agency is solely for the project's encroachment into CADOT ROW, and additional project documents can be viewed and downloaded from the project website at: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ybljyj9b9ws8p2ftyclmd/ADc9b38TcD4Yn1SOR30wv5w/Reports*20and*20Info?rlkey=son9cvk90twv5dcvyr05i4van&Good evening,The House Calendar for Monday, July 21, 2025, has been processed.Thank you,e=1&subfolder_nav_tracking=1&st=t4tatrrg&dl=0__;JSU!!LWi6xHDyrA!7yoeQts-zx-4IOiFkgIBopFMD7NeZMBSYfmQOJ9CTI6ULHl0EUyv8zo8BKxdRQz6zG18_wCK35YZF-Y$ .
