Milestones:
Prior to issuance of the Notice of Intent, BOEM will review the Construction and Operations Plan (COP) to determine whether the COP is sufficiently complete for the purposes of issuing an NOI in accordance with the NEPA regulations at 40 CFR 1501.9 and BOEM's regulations at 30 CFR part 585.
BOEM reviews the COP for consistency with its published guidance, BOEM Guidance on Information Needed for Issuance of a Notice of Intent (NOI) Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for a Construction and Operations Plan ("NOI Checklist").
This milestone marks the conclusion of scoping.
