Permitting Action Modification History

Planned
The EFH milestones "NOAA Determines EFH Assessment is Complete" and “NOAA Issues any EFH Conservation Recommendations" are dependent on BOEM’s EIS action milestones. A shift of BOEM’s EIS action milestones by 180 days results in a commensurate shift to these EFH action milestones.  Therefore, an extension of the EFH milestones is requested based upon the extension of BOEM’s EIS milestones. The requested milestone changes are shown in the table below.
