Consultation with New York State Agencies. Seller shall consult with the Consulting State Agencies at the request of such agencies regarding the planning and development of the Selected Project, and will make best efforts to respond to feedback timely provided by the Consulting State Agencies. Concurrent with its initial submission of the Construction and Operations Plan (“COP”) for the Selected Project to BOEM, including a draft COP, Seller shall share such COP with NYSERDA for distribution to any Consulting State Agency that may request a copy of same. NYSERDA acknowledges that, after submission of the COP, the review process organized under the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) will present a forum for some New York State Agencies to participate in the analysis of the Selected Project’s environmental impacts, including as cooperating agencies in the scoping, data collection, and alternatives-evaluation aspects of the NEPA process. Accordingly, NYSERDA will rely on the NEPA review process to create opportunities for the Consulting State Agencies to engage with and analyze the COP for the Selected Project to the greatest extent practicable. Nevertheless, without compromising the centrality of the NEPA review process with respect to the COP, Seller agrees to meet with Consulting State Agencies, at their reasonable request, during the development, construction, and operational phases of the Selected Project.

Concurrent with submitting, or resubmitting, of a Site Assessment Plan or Construction and Operations Plan (or any component thereof) to BOEM, Seller shall share such plan with each Consulting State Agency, except to the extent that any such agency has indicated its preference to decline such consultation. So long as any Consulting State Agency provides feedback to Seller within sixty (60) days of its receipt of Seller’s proposed plans (or any component thereof), Seller shall make best efforts to meet with such Consulting State Agency upon its request and to consider feedback provided by such agency. [If Seller has already submitted a Site Assessment Plan or Construction and Operations Plan to BOEM as of the Effective Date, Seller shall propose to NYSERDA an alternative process for consulting with each Consulting State Agency.]
