The date for publication of the final ITA regulations was revised due to the revised EIS schedule.  The final ITA regulations cannot be published until the ROD is published, so had to be revised to be after the new ROD publication date.  In addition the final MMPA milestone was revised due to the required 30-day period after the final ITA regulations are published.

The proposed rule has been drafted using lessons learned from other offshore wind projects.  However, out of concern about the time needed to go through the review and clearance process before publication, and concern about avoiding the 30-day lockout period from making changes to the Permitting Dashboard, the milestone date for publication of the proposed rule is being extended two weeks.  No other changes to the MMPA schedule is needed, and this change does not affect the overall schedule.  The milestone for the publication of the final rule was revised due to BOEM's revised ROD date of 7/7/23, as the final ITA regulations cannot be published prior to the ROD.  This revision keeps with the notional timeline for offshore wind to allow for the publication of the final ITA regulations after the ROD is issued, and the rendering of the ITA decision (final MMPA milestone) is required to be 30 days after publication of the final ITA regulations in the FR.

The milestone date for publication of the proposed ITA was extended by three weeks to allow some additional time for review and clearance before publication.  Extension of this MMPA milestone does not affect any other milestones, as there is still sufficient time between publication of the proposed and final ITA.  Finally, neither BOEM nor the project sponsor/applicant had concerns about extending this milestone.
