Milestone Extension: Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) Incidental Take Authorization – DOI USFWS

The 2nd milestone date for MMPA needs to be changed to align with and reflect the lead agency EIS, and the anticipated publish date of the draft EIS. The project sponsor does not have any concerns with the date change, nor will it affect other aspects of the permitting timetable. The update will bring the milestone into alignment with the permitting timetable. The DOI CERPO has been included on communications regarding the change and should be aware of the delay although it will not have an effect on the project.

Action is being placed back in Executive Director Review for re-evaluation. Previous comment provided by Rachel London is posted below for reference: The 2nd milestone date for MMPA needs to be changed to align with and reflect the lead agency EIS, and the anticipated publish date of the draft EIS.

Milestone Extension: Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) Incidental Take Authorization – DOC - NOAA/NMFS

As noted in the notes for the updates, FERC provided a revised EIS schedule on 2/28/19. Therefore, the revised milestone dates have been revised to accommodate that revised schedule. Therefore, the project sponsor should be aware of the date changes. There has been ongoing coordination regarding the need for schedule changes for this project due to the government shutdown so our CERPO and lead agency CERPO are aware of the issues and need for updated schedules.    
 

Milestone Extension: Section 404 Clean Water Act

The district is uncertain if it will receive the required dependencies information in time to render a decision by the original target milestone. Since modifications cannot be made in less than 30 days, we are requesting a time extension now although hope it isn't actually needed.    
 

Milestone Extension: Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899

Agency staff tried to change the target date on December 27, 2017 (more than 30 days before the target date); however, due to staff leave over the Holidays, this update could not be made before the lock-out. Further, FPISC-OED failed to approve of the date change before the January 26, 2018 target date was missed. FPISC-OED has already approved via e-mail for this update to occur.
