disruptions and the undersigned attorney’s expanded childcare obligations, I write to respectfully
request that the deadlines in the Court’s endorsed briefing schedule [ECF No. 87] be extended by
one week. This is EPA’s first request for an extension of the briefing deadlines. Plaintiff NRDC
consents to this request.
