Abstract
The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to announce Caltrans' adoption of the Maritime Administration's (MARAD) Combined Final Environmental Impact Statement/Record of Decision and Final Section 4(f) Evaluation, (FEIS/ROD) for the Port of Long Beach (POLB or Port) Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility Project (Project). The Final EIS and ROD for the Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility Project were approved by MARAD on April 7, 2022. MARAD's Notice of Availability for the Final EIS and ROD was published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2022. Under 49 U.S.C. 304a(b), MARAD issued a single Final EIS and ROD (USEPA, 2022). Therefore, the 30-day wait/ review period under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) did not apply to the action (Federal Register, 2022). Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.3(b)(2), Caltrans was a cooperating agency on this project. Therefore, recirculation of the document is not necessary under Section 1506.3(c) of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Highway Administration
Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in
California; Statute of Limitations on Claims
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to
announce Caltrans' adoption of the Maritime Administration's (MARAD)
Combined Final Environmental Impact Statement/Record of Decision and
Final Section 4(f) Evaluation, (FEIS/ROD) for the Port of Long Beach
(POLB or Port) Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility Project (Project).
The Final EIS and ROD for the Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility
Project were approved by MARAD on April 7, 2022. MARAD's Notice of
Availability for the Final EIS and ROD was published in the Federal
Register on April 15, 2022. Under 49 U.S.C. 304a(b), MARAD issued a
single Final EIS and ROD (USEPA, 2022). Therefore, the 30-day wait/
review period under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) did
not apply to the action (Federal Register, 2022).
Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.3(b)(2), Caltrans was a cooperating agency
on this project. Therefore, recirculation of the document is not
necessary under Section 1506.3(c) of the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) regulations.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, 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 May 5,
2023. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim
provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such claim,
then that shorter time period still applies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Subsequent to MARAD's ROD issued for the
entire Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility Project, pursuant to 40
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1505.2 and 23 CFR 771.127 Caltrans
issued a ROD for the Pier B Street Freight Corridor Reconstruction
Project on November 9th, 2022, which is a component of the Pier B On-
Dock Rail Support Facility Project. Caltrans is a cooperating agency
for the Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility Project. This ROD is
solely for Caltrans approval of the Pier B Street Freight Corridor
Reconstruction Project.
The Pier B Street Freight Corridor Reconstruction Project scope
includes the following:
<bullet> Pier B Street: Realignment of Pier B St between Pico Av
and Anaheim St and widening into two lanes in each direction to improve
goods movement mobility and enhance pedestrian travel. The realignment
of Pier B Street would require the reconstruction of two intersections,
at Anaheim Way and Edison Avenue.
<bullet> 9th Street Crossing: The existing at-grade 9th Street
railroad grade crossing would be closed. After the intersection with
9th street is closed, access to Interstate (I-) 710 would remain open
at Pico Avenue, where the existing ramp at the 9th Street/Pico Avenue
intersection is located. Access to Anaheim Street would be shifted to
Anaheim Way and Farragut Avenue at the western end of Pier B Street.
<bullet> Removal of Shoemaker Ramps: The Shoemaker ramps and
approaches would be removed. The Shoemaker north approach and the 9th
Street bridge north approach would be demolished.
<bullet> Pico Avenue: Pico Avenue is located within a narrow
corridor 1 between I-710 and several buildings, terminals, and ramps.
Pico Avenue would be realigned to the west from Pier B St/I-710 ramps
south to approximately Pier D Street to accommodate the addition of our
railroad tracks. The existing at-grade crossing at Pico Avenue/Pier D
Street would be closed.
<bullet> Sidewalk: Construction of new sidewalk on the south side
of Pier B St and along the west 7 side of Pico Ave.
