Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
delay due to lapse in appropriations
Approved
Milestone Extension: Section 106 Review
waiting for project sponsor to submit final POD
Milestone Extension: Section 10 Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 Clean Water Act
We did not previously have a target date for our target completion date (our 4th and last milestone), or target dates for our 2nd and 3rd milestones, so there is nothing to extend beyond 30 days. As such, I am not sure why this notification is popping up. I marked the "reason for change" date as "Updating Planned Date". I was under the impression from the last Dashboard Administrator meeting that updating planned dates do not require FPISC OED review, even if planned completion dates would be extended more than 30 days. It would be very helpful to get clarification on this.
Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
The DEIS has been delayed due to additional analysis required to address mitigation concerns. DOI has identified a new target completion date for the DEIS and is expediting the remaining permitting milestones accordingly, which includes issuing the ROD and ROW concurrently.

The applicant schedule for providing information needed for the EIS has slipped. The applicant still has not provided the BLM with the necessary information.
Milestone Extension: Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) Incidental Take Authorization – DOC - NOAA/NMFS
The project proponent has not provided the required documentation to NMFS. Please change the target completion date of the Complete Application Received to 6/30/2018. Thank you.
Milestone Extension: Section 408 Permit
The reason for the date changes was because of the unknown FERC DEIS and FEIS projected release dates. Once those dates were known, the Portland District worked with the applicant on new 408 decision dates. The applicant concurred with the new dates. The date changes coincide with the FERC EIS schedule dates. CERPR has been made aware of the date changes and an email was sent to all interested parties and no objection was received.
Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
On February 27, 2018, Commission staff paused this action because it required additional information to fully assess safety impacts in the Environmental Impact Statement. As of May 18, 2018, Commission staff had received sufficient additional information and issued a Notice of Revised Schedule for completing the NEPA review, and was able to unpause this action. FERC staff consulted with the other agencies and the project sponsor for the revised target dates to complete NEPA.
Milestone Extension: Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) Incidental Take Authorization – DOC - NOAA/NMFS
NOAA will adopt the lead agency EIS for purposes of the MMPA authorization. As noted in the text box for each of the final three milestones for this authorization (i.e., the milestones where the date was changed), these milestones are tied to, and dependent upon, the EIS schedule. The final three MMPA authorization dates were updated to reflect FERC's EIS schedule. NOAA did coordinate with all other agencies and the project sponsor regarding this date charge via FERC's quarterly update email.
Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
The date is being pushed as the cooperating agencies would like to see another route through the federal lands analyzed in the draft EIS. An email about this delay was sent to the Council on 10/4/2018. The cooperating agencies and the applicant are all aware of this change and have approved it. This delay will change multiple other dates, that are all dependencies on when the EIS and ROD are completed. All are being updated currently to match the new time line. Everyone is working hard to find locations to make up time, but at this time no areas have been identified.
