Federal Aviation Administration 

Office of Commercial Space 

Transportation; Notice of Availability 

and Request for Comment on the Draft 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for 

the Midland International Air and 

Space Port, City of Midland, Midland 

County, Texas 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTIONS: Notice of Availability, Notice 

of Public Comment Period, Notice of 

Public Meeting, and Request for 

Comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of

4321, et seq.), Council on 

WREIER-AVILES on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Environmental Quality NEPA 

implementing regulations (40 CFR Parts 

1500–1508), and FAA Order 1050.1E, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, Change 1, the FAA is 

announcing the availability of and 

requesting comments on the Draft EA 

for the Midland International Air and 

Space Port, City of Midland, Midland 

County, Texas. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Daniel Czelusniak, Office of Commercial 

Space Transportation, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue SW., Suite 325, Washington, DC 

20591; telephone (202) 267–5924; email 

FAAMidlandEA@icfi.com. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft 

EA was prepared to analyze the 

potential environmental impacts of the 

City of Midland’s proposal to operate a 

commercial space launch site at the 

Midland International Airport (MAF) in 

Midland County, Texas and offer the 

site to XCOR Aerospace, Inc. (XCOR) for 

the operation of the Lynx horizontal 

take-off and horizontal landing reusable 

launch vehicle (RLV) and engine testing. 

To operate a commercial space launch 

site, the City of Midland must obtain a 

commercial space launch site operator 

license from the FAA. Under the 

Proposed Action addressed in the EA, 

the FAA would: (1) Issue a launch site 

operator license to the City of Midland 

for the operation of a commercial space 

launch site at MAF, (2) issue 

experimental permits and/or launch 

licenses to XCOR that would allow 

XCOR to conduct launches of the Lynx 

RLV from MAF, and (3) provide 

unconditional approval to modify the 

existing Airport Layout Plan (ALP) to 

reflect the designation of a launch site 

boundary, installation of aboveground 

propellant storage tanks, and 

construction of a concrete pad for 

engine testing. Proposed launch 

operations would begin in 2014 and 

continue through 2018. The frequency 

of launch operations would initially be 

one launch per week, eventually 

increasing to two launches per day, five 

days a week. Fifty-two annual launch 

operations are proposed in 2014. The 

total number of annual launch 

operations would increase each year 

until 2018 when 520 annual launch 

operations are proposed. 

The Draft EA addresses the potential 

environmental impacts of implementing 

the Proposed Action and the No Action 

Alternative. Under the No Action 

Alternative, the FAA would not issue a 

launch site operator license to the City 

of Midland and thus would not issue 

experimental permits and/or launch 

licenses to XCOR for operation of the 

Lynx RLV at MAF. Also, there would be 

no need to update the ALP for MAF, 

and thus there would be no approval of 

a revised ALP. Existing commercial 

aviation and military operations would 

continue at MAF. 

The impact categories considered in 

the Draft EA include air quality; 

compatible land use; Department of 

Transportation Act: Section 4(f); fish, 

wildlife, and plants; floodplains; 

hazardous materials, pollution 

prevention, and solid waste; historical, 

architectural, archaeological, and 

cultural resources; natural resources and 

energy supply; noise; socioeconomic 

impacts, environmental justice, and 

children’s environmental health and 

safety risks; water quality; and 

wetlands. The Draft EA also considers 

the potential cumulative environmental 

impacts. 

The FAA has posted the Draft EA on 

the FAA Web site at http://www.faa.gov/ 

about/office_org/headquarters_offices/

ast/environmental/nepa_docs/review/

documents_progress/. 

A paper copy of the Draft EA may be

at the following libraries: 

• Midland County Library, 301 West 

Missouri Avenue, Midland, TX 79701 

• Ector County Library, 321 W. 5th 

Street, Odessa, TX 79761 

• Reagan County Library, 300 

Courthouse Square, Big Lake, TX

The FAA will hold an open house 

public meeting to solicit comments from 

the public concerning the scope and 

content of the Draft EA. 

• April 8, 2014, 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., 

The University of Texas of the 

Permian Basin, Center for Energy & 

Economic Diversification (CEED), 

Foyer Room, 1400 N. FM 1788,

The public will be able to speak to 

project representatives one-on-one and 

submit written comments or provide 

oral comments to a stenographer. 

DATES: The FAA encourages all 

interested parties to provide comments 

concerning the scope and content of the 

Draft EA. To ensure that all comments 

can be addressed in the Final EA, 

comments on the draft must be received 

by the FAA no later than April 21, 2014. 

Reviewers should organize their 

comments to be meaningful and inform 

the FAA of their interests and concerns 

by quoting or providing specific 

references to the text of the Draft EA. 

Matters that could have been raised 

with specificity during the comment 

period on the Draft EA may not be 

considered if they are raised for the first 

time later in the decision process. This 

commenting procedure is intended to 

ensure that substantive comments and 

concerns are made available to the FAA 

in a timely manner so that the FAA has 

an opportunity to address them. 

ADDRESSES: Please submit comments in 

writing to Mr. Daniel Czelusniak, Office
