Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
Utah

AGENCY: Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA), Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions 
by UDOT.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by UDOT that are final Federal agency actions. 
The final agency actions relate to a proposed highway project, a new 
interchange on Interstate 15 (I-15) between approximate mileposts 325.2 
and 326, at Shepard Lane, in Farmington City, Davis County, Utah. Those 
actions grant licenses, permits and/or approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, 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 April 12, 2021. 
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.
