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.

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.
