    Missed Date Explanation (Published 10/21/2021): The 10/20/2021 completion date for "Issuance of Lead Agency Record of Decision" was missed because the Executive Director did not timely receive a  request to modify the completion date. 42 U.S.C. 4370m-2(c)(2)(D)(i)(III) & (ii). Consultations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act are ongoing.

The Record of Decision cannot be issued until the completion of the Section 106 process (i.e., execution of the MOA). In accordance with 42 U.S.C. 4370m-2(c)(2)(F)(ii), BOEM has established an alternative completion date of 11/23/2021.
