The Maritime Administration (MARAD) announced a delay in issuing the Record of Decision for the proposed Texas GulfLink Deepwater Port, located off the coast of Brazoria County, Texas. This is because the agency is still processing and reviewing over 44,000 public comments received on the Final Environmental Impact Statement and final public hearing. The delay ensures that all the submitted information and viewpoints are thoroughly evaluated before making a final decision. MARAD's actions are in compliance with the requirements set by the Deepwater Port Act of 1974.

NMFS, a part of NOAA, has issued an updated incidental harassment authorization (IHA) to Trident Seafoods Corporation. This re-issuance allows for the incidental harassment of six species of marine mammals during dock replacement activities in Kodiak, Alaska, with the only change being the effective dates from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, due to project delays. The mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements remain the same as in the initial IHA, ensuring minimal impact on the affected species. The work includes construction activities, like pile driving, and the authorization confirms that the activities will not adversely affect endangered species or their habitats.

Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. has requested an extension from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to complete a project in Kansas, originally set to be finished by February 28, 2025, now aiming for August 29, 2025. This extension is needed because the Kansas Corporation Commission has not yet made a decision on whether to approve the sale tied to the project. The public can comment on this request until March 12, 2025, through the Commission's electronic filing system or by mail. The Commission will engage with any significant disputes about this extension within 45 days, but will not revisit any foundational decisions regarding the project's authorization.
