Title: Public Risk Criteria for Launch and Reentry (Risk Rule) 
Abstract: This rulemaking would revise the requirements to: 1) establish quantitative public risk acceptability criteria that treat launch and reentry separately; 2) define the scope of launch and reentry missions for the purposes of quantitative risk analyses (QRA); and 3) apply QRA requirements, including uncertainty analysis, equally to all types of launch and reentry vehicles. These revisions would update the current requirements, and are consistent with current practices at the Federal ranges.
