23 USC 327, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to

of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway 
project along Interstate 805, San Diego, CA, PM: 23.3-27.7 in the 
County of San Diego, 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 July 18, 
2011. 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.
