SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to announce actions taken by Caltrans, USACOE, and USFWS, that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139( *l* )(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway project, on Interstate 15 (I-15) between the existing Winchester Road (State Route 79, SR-79)/I-15 Interchange and Murrieta Hot Springs Road in the vicinity of the I-15/I-215 junction within the cities of Temecula and Murrieta in Riverside County, State of California.
Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project. DATES: 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 December 21, 2010. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of less than 180 days for filing such claim, then that shorter time period still applies.
