On January 27, NOAA notified BOEM that the information necessary to initiate consultation was missing from the December 2022 BA.  NOAA requested that BOEM provide that information by February 27 so that it could be reviewed before the March 13 milestone date.  On February 8, BOEM informed NOAA that they would not be able to provide the information until after February 27 and requested that the milestone date be moved back by 30 days to April 12, 2023.  This also requires ESA milestone #3 to be delayed by 30 days in order to allow for the 150 days for NOAA to review and conclude consultation. As such, the ESA milestone #3 for "ESA Consultation Concludes" is being revised to September 8, 2023.

  On January 27 NMFS notified BOEM that information necessary to initiate consultation was missing from the December 2022 BA.  We requested that BOEM provide that information by February 27 so that it could be reviewed before the March 13 ESA initiation milestone date.  On February 8, BOEM informed us that they would not be able to provide the information until after February 27 and requested that the ESA initiation milestone date be moved back by 30 days to April 12, 2023.  This change in the ESA initiation milestone date also requires ESA milestone 3 (the final milestone) to be delayed by 30 days.
