The CVOW project NEPA schedule was delayed by four months resulting in a December 16, 2022 DEIS release date from the original August 2022 date. The June 29, 2022 FPISC ED determined by decision to shift the NEPA DEIS dates from August 2022 to December 2022.  The associated USFWS consultation dates have been shifted accordingly.  The previous consultation dates were  associated with the previous NEPA schedule and therefore out of sync with current schedule. ESA milestone target dates were updated to reflect interagency coordination and provide more time for the applicant in BOEM to develop a complete initiation package.
