Illinois
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions
by FHWA and other Federal agencies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA and other
Federal agencies that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C.
139(l)(1). The actions relate to the proposed Illinois Route 29 (IL 29)
highway project, for construction of an access-controlled, four-lane
freeway on new right-of-way between the existing IL 6 interchange near
Mossville and the proposed Chillicothe interchange north of Chillicothe
in Peoria County, and the widening of IL 29 to four-lanes, largely on
existing right-of-way, from north of Chillicothe to Interstate 180 (I-
180) in Peoria, Marshall, Putnam, and Bureau Counties, Illinois. 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 of the highway project will be barred
unless the claim is filed on or before August 2, 2010. 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.
