Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
California

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

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

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA that are final 
within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a 
proposed highway project, Colton Crossing Rail-to-Rail Grade Separation 
Project, City of Colton, in the County of San Bernardino, State of 
California. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for 
the project.

DATES: By this notice, 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 on the highway project will be barred 
unless the claim is filed on or before December 27, 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.

Engineer, (202) 409-2441, or David Tedrick, Local Agency Programs Team

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FHWA has 
taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by approving 
the following highway project in the State of California: The project 
proposes to grade-separate two existing mainline tracks, which run 
perpendicular to one another. The project involves two Burlington 
Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) San Bernardino Subdivision mainline 
tracks running in a north-south direction crossing at-grade two Union 
Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Alhambra/Yuma Subdivision mainline tracks 
running in an east-west direction. The crossing of these sets of tracks 
is known as the ``Colton Crossing''. The project would raise the east-
west UPRR mainline by placing it on an elevated structure to span over 
the BNSF mainline tracks from Rancho Avenue on the west to Mount Vernon 
Avenue on the east. The grade-separated structure would contain two 
UPRR mainline tracks and a maintenance road. The actions by FHWA, and 
the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the 
Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) and Finding of No Significant 
Impact (FONSI) for the project, both approved on May 26, 2011. The FEA 
can be viewed and downloaded from the project Web site at: http://www.coltoncrossing.com/signed_documents.htm.
    This notice applies to all agency decisions as of the issuance date 
of this notice and all laws under which such actions were taken, 
including but not limited to:
1. The National Environmental Policy Act
2. Clean Water Act
3. Federal Endangered Species Act
4. Clean Air Act
5. The National Historic Preservation Act
