NMFS was informed that additional time is needed by General Counsel for the review and clearance of the final ITA regulations before publication in the Federal Register.  Therefore, the final two dates have been extended by 8 days.  The project sponsor has been notified of the need for the milestone extensions and they have no concern with the date changes.

BOEM notified NOAA Fisheries that their FEIS and ROD dates would be extended.  BOEM's proposed new ROD date is 7/7/23. The MMPA milestone for publication of the final ITA regulations in the FR cannot be completed until after the ROD. Therefore, NOAA Fisheries extended the final two MMPA milestones according to the notional timetable to allow time after the the ROD to publish the final ITA regs, and to allow for the required 30-day cooling off period between publication of the final ITA regulations and rendering the ITA decision.

Due to the length and complexity of the proposed rule, an extra two weeks to allow sufficient time for review and clearance of the proposed rule for publication in the FR was requested by NMFS.  This two-week extension was coordinated with both the applicant and BOEM and neither objected to the additional time, as it doesn't affect anything else in the project timeline.
