Planned
The Project Sponsor was three months late in submitting its initial Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) permit application to NMFS, and that initial submission was incomplete. The information contained in the MMPA application is used to develop BOEM’s biological assessment for the required ESA consultation with NMFS and to develop the EFH assessment.  The revisions to the proposed action, including modifications to the project design envelope, the project layout, and activities associated with the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, as described above, also led to delays in the receipt of complete consultation documents. Therefore, the Project Sponsor’s delay in submitting application materials to NMFS for the MMPA permit application, modifications to the proposed action, and the additional time the developer took to submit missing information underlie the extension request for the NMFS ESA and EFH action.

Planned
On 1/23/23, BOEM informed NOAA Fisheries they would not be able to provide a complete EFH assessment until at least February 3rd.  They are still waiting on information from the applicant related to the inner array cable layout for EW 2. Once BOEM receives that information they plan to incorporate it into the EFH assessment and submit to NOAA Fisheries.   BOEM recommended a 30 day delay and suggested they would provide the updated EFH assessment by February 13, 2023, so the additional time will allow NOAA Fisheries time for review before needing to determine if it's complete.
