Though EPA deemed the Project Sponsor’s OCS air permit application complete on January 4, 2023, further technical review of the modeling analyses showed that the magnitude of the air quality impacts was in violation Air Quality Standards, which rendered the application as submitted unapprovable. The application review was paused, and EPA requested that the application and/or modeling analyses be revised to correct any air quality violations. The Project Sponsor submitted a revised application with new information in August 2023, which superseded the original application and was incomplete. The Project Sponsor provided supplemental submittals in October 2023 and additional revised modeling on November 13, 2023. On October 31, 2023, the Project Sponsor announced that they would cease development of the Ocean Wind 1 Project, but later informed EPA that they intend to retain the lease and assets (permit actions) and continue to pursue an OCS air permit.  The November 13, 2023, submittal is undergoing review for completeness. If EPA determines on December 13, 2023, that the August 2023 permit application is complete, the Clean Air Act gives EPA one year from the completeness determination to issue a final permit decision.

Applicant delays caused delay in EPA’s application completeness determination, which shifted final decision milestone date forward according to the one-year statutory deadline under CAA § 165.
