The COP milestone is dependent on the NEPA schedule, which recently shifted. In addition, the standard timeframe from ROD to COP decision is 90 days. A prior milestone change unintentionally compressed that timeframe to less than the standard and BOEM is restoring the 90-day timeframe.

Additional information required of, and provided by, the Project Sponsor results in a delay of slightly more than one month in the development of the DEIS, and cascading delays in the FEIS and ROD. BOEM prepared a draft EIS based on the COP updates available in November 2022 and completed a cooperating agency review of the partial DEIS in June 2023. The Project Sponsor submitted a COP update in Nov 2022 and an additional COP update in July 2023. BOEM cannot complete the DEIS until all the Project Sponsor’s complete revisions to the PDE and associated reports have been provided, reviewed, and incorporated into the analysis in the DEIS. The PDE changes in the COP update include additional dredging, updated cable routes, and refinement of O&M facility details.  This additional information is required for the DEIS, which will shift the date for the ROD.  Since the final COP milestone is dependent upon the ROD, the final COP milestone is shifting accordingly.
