by FHWA and other Federal Agencies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA and other

139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway project, Loop 567
from Farm to Market Road (FM) 51 to Business Route (BU) 377H in Hood
County, Texas. Those actions grant licenses, permits and approvals for
the project.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA is advising the public of final agency

of the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred
unless the claim is filed on or before February 14, 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.
