The interim milestone, “EFH Consultation Request Submitted” is aligned with the date BOEM submits the draft DEIS for cooperating agency review and is contingent on NMFS receiving a consultation request from BOEM (as lead Federal agency), consisting of a draft EFH assessment, that considers the effects of all proposed Federal actions. The interim milestone, “NOAA Determines EFH Assessment Complete,” is contingent upon NMFS receiving sufficient information to deem the package complete and initiate EFH consultation. This includes receipt of a complete EFH assessment responding to any previous information requests, a copy of reports referenced in the EFH assessment, and public availability of the DEIS from the lead agency. This milestone is set to align with ESA. The final milestone, “NOAA Issues any EFH CRs,” should be 90 days after NMFS determines the EFH assessment is complete. Note that the Milestone date for publication of the Final EIS date must allow adequate time for incorporation of the findings of the ESA consultation into the Final EIS.
