The US Department of Justice has asked a federal court in Maryland to return the Maryland Offshore Wind construction and operations approval to the Department of the Interior for further review, The Maritime Executive reports.

The request concerns US Wind’s project approval. The article describes the filing as having been made in the preceding week without giving its exact date.

A government request for further review is not a court ruling revoking the approval. The reported proceeding is separate from the Revolution Wind case.
