This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions by FHWA.
This notice announces actions taken by FHWA that are final. The actions relate to a proposed highway project, Interstate 75 (I-75), from I-475 to State Route (SR) 155 in Butts, Henry, Lamar, Monroe, and Spalding Counties in Georgia, and includes auxiliary lanes from SR 155 up to the I-75/SR 20 interchange in Butts, Henry, Lamar, Monroe, and Spalding Counties, Georgia, for a total project length of approximately 41 miles. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project. The FHWA's Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) provides details on the Selected Alternative for the proposed improvements.
By this notice, FHWA is advising the public of the final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139( l)(1). A claim seeking judicial review of the Federal agency actions on the listed highway project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before February 16, 2027. 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.
For FHWA: Ms. Sabrina David, Division Administrator, FHWA, Georgia Division Office; 75 Ted Turner Drive, Suite 1000, Atlanta, Georgia 30303; (404) 562-3630; Sabrina.David@dot.gov. The FHWA Georgia Division's normal business hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) Monday through Friday. For the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT): Mr. Russell McMurry, Commissioner, GDOT; 600 West Peachtree Street, 22nd Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30308; (404) 631-1990; RMcMurry@dot.ga.gov. The GDOT normal business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) Monday through Friday.
Notice is hereby given that FHWA 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 Georgia: I-75 Commercial Vehicle Lanes Project, Project Identification Number 0014203. GDOT is proposing improvements to approximately 41 miles of I-75 between I-475 and SR 155 in Butts, Henry, Lamar, Monroe, and Spalding Counties, Georgia. The project will construct two barrier-separated northbound CVLs beginning at the I-75/I-475 interchange in Monroe County and extend northward on the east side of the I-75 northbound corridor for approximately 38 miles, which then transitions to a single auxiliary lane for an additional two miles up to the I-75/SR 155 interchange. A single auxiliary lane will also be added to the I-75 general purpose lanes to accommodate merging trucks beginning at SR 155 and extending up to the I-75/SR 20 interchange. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve travel time reliability, reduce the above average crash rate, and improve freight movement on the I-75 northbound corridor.
The FHWA's actions and the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project, approved on March 31, 2026, and the FONSI issued on September 15, 2026, and in other documents in the project file. The EA, FONSI, and other project records are available by contacting FHWA or GDOT at the addresses provided above. The EA and FONSI can be viewed and downloaded from the project website at: https://0014203-gdot.hub.arcgis.com/.
