Milestone Extension: Right-of-Way Authorization (DOI-BIA)

BIA coordinated with the project sponsor (Santa Fe Indian School) and the lead agency (NTIA) to adjust the milestone deadlines. We propose bumping Zuni Agency ROW (where construction is intended to begin first) out 6 months and bumping Ramah Agency and Southern Pueblos Agency ROWs out 9 months. This will provide sufficient time for SFIS to submit complete ROW applications and for legal review of recently submitted waivers for definite location. For further justification, please see the attached.
