Title: Changing the Collective Risk Limits for Launches and Reentries, and Clarifying the Risk Limit Used to Establish Hazard Areas for Ships and Aircraft 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would revise the collective risk limits for commercial launches and reentries. With this rulemaking, the FAA would separate its expected-number-of-casualties limits for launches and reentries. For commercial launches, the FAA would aggregate the expected-number-of-casualties posed by the following hazards: (1) impacting inert and explosive debris, (2) toxic release, and (3) far field blast overpressure to one times ten to the minus four. This rulemaking would also clarify the regulatory requirements concerning hazard areas for ships and aircraft.
