Title: Reciprocal Waivers of Claims for Licensed or Permitted Launch and Reentry Activities (RRR) 
Abstract: This rulemaking would ensure customers are waiving claims against all other customers involved in a launch or reentry; reduce the need for operators to request a partial waiver of the reciprocal waiver of claims requirements and for the FAA to process those requests; and provide a reciprocal waiver template for permittees with no customers, reducing the need for the FAA to assist such a permittee in drafting its cross waivers.

Additional Information: SB: N, IC: N, SLT: N Costs/benefits: This rule would reduce cost burdens of all parties signing cross-waivers, as well the FAA, because the FAA has to review any cross-waiver the customer has signed with its customers to make sure it is substantially similar to the statutory requirement. Progress status: FAA awaiting close of comment period.
