BOEM requests an extension of completion dates for its NEPA action based on the following: (1) the Project Sponsor made an early design change that required re-scoping; (2) alternatives discussions between the lead and cooperating agencies; and (3) delays related to ESA and EFH consultations, which is relevant because BOEM includes information from those consultations in the final EIS.
