Abstract:
Commercial or non-federal entities who desire to obtain a reusable launch vehicle (RLV) mission license or a reentry license are mandated to report to this information collection. The information to be collected includes data required for performing a safety review, which includes a technical assessment to determine if the applicant launches or reenters an RLV or a reentry vehicle to a designated site without jeopardizing public health and safety and the safety of property. This information collection requirement is intended for incorporating acquired data into the license, which then becomes binding on the launch and/or reentry operator. Under the policy review and approval process, an applicant is required to submit information that enables FAA/AST to summarize the application requirements identifying foreign ownership of the vehicle. FAA/AST determines, before issuing a license, if issuance of an RLV mission license would jeopardize the foreign policy or national security interests of the U.S. In accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policies Act, 42 U.S.C. ยง 4321, et. seq., (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508, and the DOT's Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts, DOT Order 5610.1C, applicants are required to submit environmental information concerning proposed RLVs and reentry vehicles that are not currently described in the environmental impact statements, as well as payloads that may have significant environmental impacts in the event of a launch accident.
