Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
California; Statute of Limitations on Claims

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

ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions 
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce Caltrans' adoption of the Maritime Administration's (MARAD) 
Combined Final Environmental Impact Statement/Record of Decision and 
Final Section 4(f) Evaluation, (FEIS/ROD) for the Port of Long Beach 
(POLB or Port) Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility Project (Project).
    The Final EIS and ROD for the Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility 
Project were approved by MARAD on April 7, 2022. MARAD's Notice of 
Availability for the Final EIS and ROD was published in the Federal 
Register on April 15, 2022. Under 49 U.S.C. 304a(b), MARAD issued a 
single Final EIS and ROD (USEPA, 2022). Therefore, the 30-day wait/
review period under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) did 
not apply to the action (Federal Register, 2022).
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.3(b)(2), Caltrans was a cooperating agency 
on this project. Therefore, recirculation of the document is not 
necessary under Section 1506.3(c) of the Council on Environmental 
Quality (CEQ) regulations.

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 5, 
2023. 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: Subsequent to MARAD's ROD issued for the 
entire Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility Project, pursuant to 40 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1505.2 and 23 CFR 771.127 Caltrans 
issued a ROD for the Pier B Street Freight Corridor Reconstruction 
Project on November 9th, 2022, which is a component of the Pier B On-
Dock Rail Support Facility Project. Caltrans is a cooperating agency 
for the Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility Project. This ROD is 
solely for Caltrans approval of the Pier B Street Freight Corridor 
Reconstruction Project.
    The Pier B Street Freight Corridor Reconstruction Project scope 
includes the following:
     Pier B Street: Realignment of Pier B St between Pico Av 
and Anaheim St and widening into two lanes in each direction to improve 
goods movement mobility and enhance pedestrian travel. The realignment 
of Pier B Street would require the reconstruction of two intersections, 
at Anaheim Way and Edison Avenue.
     9th Street Crossing: The existing at-grade 9th Street 
railroad grade crossing would be closed. After the intersection with 
9th street is closed, access to Interstate (I-) 710 would remain open 
at Pico Avenue, where the existing ramp at the 9th Street/Pico Avenue 
intersection is located. Access to Anaheim Street would be shifted to 
Anaheim Way and Farragut Avenue at the western end of Pier B Street.
     Removal of Shoemaker Ramps: The Shoemaker ramps and 
approaches would be removed. The Shoemaker north approach and the 9th 
Street bridge north approach would be demolished.
     Pico Avenue: Pico Avenue is located within a narrow 
corridor 1 between I-710 and several buildings, terminals, and ramps. 
Pico Avenue would be realigned to the west from Pier B St/I-710 ramps 
south to approximately Pier D Street to accommodate the addition of our 
railroad tracks. The existing at-grade crossing at Pico Avenue/Pier D 
Street would be closed.
     Sidewalk: Construction of new sidewalk on the south side 
of Pier B St and along the west 7 side of Pico Ave.
