SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, FHWA assigned, and
Caltrans assumed, environmental responsibilities for this project
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that Caltrans and has
taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing
licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway project in
the State of California: The Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (Metro) and Caltrans propose to convert the
existing High Occupancy Vehicle lane on the I-105, from I-405 to
Studebaker Road, to two Express Lanes in each direction with
nonstandard lane and shoulder widths. The two Express Lanes would be
separated from the general-purpose lanes by a 2-foot-wide buffer. The
project would also include a new overhead tolling system and signage,
dynamic pricing on the Express Lanes, and other improvements to the I-
105 Corridor including sound walls and auxiliary lanes. The actions by
the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions were taken,
are described in the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR)/

project records. The Final EIR/EA with FONSI, and other project records
are available by contacting Caltrans at the addresses provided above.
