Planned
The lead action agency, BOEM, requested to change these milestone dates, because BOEM anticipates submitting a revised BA and response to agency comments on April 17, 2023.  This submission date may not provide the USFWS sufficient time to review and deem the consultation package is complete by the previous ESA consultation conclusion date which was May 5, 2023.  BOEM and USFWS had a call on March 28, 2023 to discuss and both agencies agreed to this new schedule.

Planned
FWS and BOEM are updating the second Milestone to allow additional time for coordination with BOEM and the applicant, as well as additional information, including surveys if needed, to complete the initiation package. In coordination with BOEM and the applicant, we anticipate revising the final Milestone to conclude consultation to September 18, 2023, to allow for formal consultation, if needed. The final Milestone date will need OED review and will be revised separately.
