BOEM plans to submit the ESA consultation package to FWS simultaneous with the publication of the draft EIS in the summer of 2025. BOEM is anticipating a new COP submission in July of 2024, which will inform preparation of the consultation package.

The project's permitting timetable was recently revised on March 25 and the revision included this milestone. BOEM extended the environmental review milestones to allow the Sponsor time to update inputs into the acoustic modelling, and to refresh analysis of the modeling results, to adequately assess environmental effects of the proposed project. These actions will inform COP updates needed for BOEM to prepare and submit to FWS the ESA consultation package to meet the revised milestone date of July 11. 2025.  

BOEM intends to submit the ESA package to FWS coincident with the publication of the draft EIS. BOEM is currently adjusting the proposed timetable for the NEPA schedule in response to a request from the Sponsor and will provide that to the Permitting Council after consulting with consulting agencies and the Sponsor.

As a result of the sponsor's intent to submit an updated COP (with changes to the PDE) in March of 2024, BOEM has developed a revised timetable for this project. BOEM developed the revised timetable after reviewing the project schedule with the cooperating agencies and in consultation with the project sponsor. The revised timetable encompasses all remaining milestones, including milestones for this nonconformant action. The revised timetable will be part of an Executive Director Determination (EDD) request BOEM intends to submit to the Permitting Council in February. While an Executive Director Determination (EDD) is not needed to update this milestone, BOEM intends to adopt the revised timetable upon receipt of an EDD.

The sponsor is expected to submit an updated COP with changes to Project Design Envelope (PDE), anticipated submission by Feb or March of 2024. BOEM is undertaking a review of the permitting timetable for this project with the cooperating agencies and in consultation with the project sponsor. The review encompasses all agency actions and milestone dates for the project, including this action. The review will result in an updated permitting time table for all actions, including this milestone. BOEM anticipates updating milestone dates in January 2024.

The agencies are on track to meet the alternative completion date in 2024.

BOEM is on track to submit the ESA consultation request package to FWS in time to meet the ESA milestone of April 26, 2024. 

BOEM undertook a comprehensive review of the permitting timetable for this project with the cooperating agencies and project sponsor. The review encompassed all NEPA and associated agency actions and milestone dates for the project, including this action. The review culminated in a request from BOEM on April 11, 2023, for an Executive Director Determination to update interim and final completion dates for multiple actions, including this action. On May 12, 2023, the Executive Director made a determination to adjust the permitting timetable as requested, with the exception of this action. Because the Executive Director did not have enough time to make a decision more than 30 days in advance of the completion date of this action, as required under the FAST-Act (42 U.S.C. § 4370m-2(c)(2)(D)(ii)), this action was not modified through the ED Determination and instead followed the non-conformance protocol. The alternative completion date for this action, as set forth in the BOEM request to the Executive Director, was published on the dashboard. 

BOEM undertook a comprehensive review of the permitting timetable for this project with the cooperating agencies and project sponsor. The review encompassed all NEPA and associated agency actions and milestone dates for the project, including this action. The review culminated in a request, from BOEM to FPISC on April 21, 2023, for an Executive Director Determination to update interim and final completion dates for multiple actions, including this action. On May 12, 2023, the Executive Director made a determination to adjust the permitting timetable as requested, with the exception of ESA and EFH actions. Because the Executive Director did not have enough time to make a decision more than 30 days in advance of the posted completion dates of these actions, as required under the FAST-Act (42 U.S.C. § 4370m-2(c)(2)(D)(ii)), these actions were not modified through the ED Determination and are instead following the non-conformance protocol. The original dates for actions under the ESA with NMFS and FWS, respectively, and EFH with NMFS, are no longer viable under the new schedule due to interdependencies with the NEPA schedule and MMPA actions.  BOEM proposes new dates for these actions as submitted to the FAST-41 dashboard, with concurrence from the respective Cooperating Agencies, in order to successfully meet the project permitting schedule as approved.
