Once again, MOES has said they can’t get the Final EIS done, and now they’ve asked for additional time, so I fired off a missive asking for an extension of the public comment time as well.  Got it!  Whew, but that’s something that’s pretty obvious.

FINAL EIS – JANUARY 28, 2010

PUBLIC COMMENTS NOW DUE BY FEBRUARY 8, 2010.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME.

New Schedule per ALJ Luis:

Counsel and Parties – Ms. Overland’s request is GRANTED.

The DEADLINE for Public Comments in this case is EXTENDED, through February 8, 2010.

Richard C. Luis,  Administrative Law Judge

And then…

Counsel and Parties – As you likely know, I just extended the deadline for Public Comments through February 8, 2010, to adjust for the OES’s new target date of Jan. 26, 2010 for issuance of the Final EIS.

I intend that the balance of the Briefing Schedule (see below) will remain unchanged. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are unable to meet the filing deadlines for February 15.

Richard C. Luis,  Administrative Law Judge
