BILLING CODE M DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Highway Administration Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in Minnesota AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT. ACTION: Notice of Statute of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions by FHWA and Other Federal Agencies. SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA and other Federal agencies that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway project on TH 371 from the intersection of CSAH 18 in Nisswa (Crow Wing County) to the County Road 2/42 intersection in Pine River (Cass County), Minnesota.

Those actions grant 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 of the proposed highway project will be barred unless the claim is filed within 180 days from the date this notice is published in the **Federal Register** . If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of less than 180 days for filing such a claim, than that shorter time period still applies.
