are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate 
to a proposed highway project, State Route 1/Calera Parkway/Highway 1

Mar Avenue in the City of Pacifica) in the County of San Mateo, State 
of California (Post Miles 41.7 to 43.0). 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 May 11, 
2015. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and the California Department of 
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed, environmental responsibilities for 
this project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that 
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: State Route 1/Calera Parkway/
Highway 1 Widening Project (from South of Fassler Avenue to North of 
Reina Del Mar Avenue in the City of Pacifica). The project will widen 
Highway 1/State Route 1/Calera Parkway in the city of Pacifica from 
four lanes to six lanes, extending from approximately 1,500 feet south 
of Fassler Avenue to approximately 2,300 feet north of Reina Del Mar 
Avenue, a distance of approximately 1.3 miles. The purpose of the 
project is to improve traffic operations by decreasing traffic 
congestion and improving peak-period travel times along a congested 
segment of State Route 1 within the city of Pacifica. Construction of 
the project is estimated to commence in spring of 2014 and is 
anticipated to take approximately two years. The actions by the Federal 
agencies, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are
