BOEM requests an extension of completion dates for its NEPA action based on the following: (1) the Project Sponsor made an early design change that required re-scoping; (2) alternatives discussions between the lead and cooperating agencies; and (3) delays related to ESA and EFH consultations, which is relevant because BOEM includes information from those consultations in the final EIS.

The delay in BOEM receiving the draft EIS from its third-party contractor has in turn resulted in a corresponding delay for publication of the Draft and Final EISs and ROD. Reasons for the third-party contractor’s delay in delivering the draft EIS to BOEM include delays in the National Environmental Policy Act process resulting from an extended alternatives development period, as well as project modifications and additional information filed by the project sponsor.
