This milestone was previously paused and has now been remanded to BLM for further action. The new target completion date reflects additional actions and milestones required to reissue the Decision.
See previous justification on Nexus. We provided a revised date during the 3rd quarter but it was not entered.

The original date was based on the DEPENDENCY of receiving Section 7/106 info from FERC but, to date, the Corps has not received it and FERC is unable to provide an estimated timeframe. The Corps new estimated date presumes the agency will provide the necessary information prior to 29 December.
See Description. The Target Completion Date was provided during the 3rd quarter update so was supposed to be changed in the 3rd quarter and which would have complied with this requirement. It's important to show that the Corps did not miss its end date.
The Target Date was changed only because our review is essentially paused while we wait for FERC's documented compliance with ESA and NHPA. They have been unable to provide us with a date (stated via e-mail) so we are making our next guess of when we could possibly receive the information from them. We recommend that such actions be "paused" in the future.

The Corps expects to receive information on the dependencies in the next few weeks. If that information is delayed, however, we cannot render a decision by the 29 Dec timeframe but if we don't extend now, we cannot extend with less than 30 days. As an abundance of caution we are extending our timeframe now although hope to still issue a decision sooner.
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.
