-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA, USACE, and

139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway project, U.S. Route
6, I-15 in Spanish Fork to I-70 near Green River in the State of Utah.
Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project.
DATES: By this notice, the 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 March 18, 2008. 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.
