the United States. Consistent with the 

determination in section 10 of Executive 

Order 13224 that prior notice to persons 

determined to be subject to the Order 

who might have a constitutional 

presence in the United States would 

render ineffectual the blocking and 

other measures authorized in the Order 

because of the ability to transfer funds 

instantaneously, I determine that no 

prior notice needs to be provided to any 

person subject to this determination 

who might have a constitutional 

presence in the United States, because 

to do so would render ineffectual the 

measures authorized in the Order. 

This notice shall be published in the 

Federal Register.

Air and Space Port, Kern County, 

California 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT), lead Federal 

agency. National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration, cooperating agency. 

ACTIONS: Notice of availability, notice of 

public comment period, and request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (NEPA; 42 United 

States Code 4321 et seq.), Council on 

Environmental Quality NEPA 

implementing regulations (40 Code of 

Federal Regulations parts 1500 to 1508), 

and FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures, the 

FAA is announcing the availability of 

and requesting comment on the Draft 

Environmental Assessment for Issuing a 

License to LauncherOne, LLC for 

LauncherOne Launches at the Mojave 

Air and Spaceport, Kern County, 

California (Draft Environmental 

Assessment [EA]). 

DATES: The public comment period for 

the Draft EA begins with the issuance of 

this Notice of Availability and lasts 30 

days. The FAA encourages all interested 

parties to provide comments concerning 

the scope and content of the Draft EA by 

February 13, 2017, or 30 days from the 

date of publication of this Notice of 

Availability, whichever is later. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, be advised that your entire 

comment—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

is evaluating LauncherOne LLC’s (L1’s) 

proposal to launch the LauncherOne at 

the Mojave Air and Space Port in Kern 

County, California, for purposes of 

transporting small satellites into a 

variety of Low Earth Orbits. The launch 

system consists of the rocket 

(LauncherOne) and a carrier aircraft 

(Boeing 747). To operate LauncherOne 

at the Mojave Air and Space Port, L1 

must obtain a launch license from the 

FAA. Issuing a license is considered a 

major Federal action subject to 

environmental review under NEPA. 

Under the Proposed Action, the FAA 

would issue a launch license to L1 that 

would allow L1 to operate LauncherOne 

from the Mojave Air and Space Port. L1 

is proposing a maximum of 115 

launches over the course of the 5-year 

launch license (expected 2017–2021). 

The maximum number of annual 

launches during this time period would 

be 40. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include the Proposed Action and the No 

Action Alternative. Under the No 

Action Alternative, the FAA would not 

issue a launch license for the operation 

of LauncherOne from the Mojave Air 

and Space Port. Also, the FAA would 

not modify Mojave Air and Space Port’s 

launch site operator license to include 

‘‘orbital’’ reusable launch vehicle 

missions. The Mojave Air and Space 

Port would continue its existing 

operations. 

The Draft EA evaluates the potential 

environmental impacts from the 

Proposed Action and No Action 

Alternative on air quality; biological 

resources (including fish, wildlife, and 

plants); climate; Department of 

Transportation Act, Section 4(f); 

hazardous materials, solid waste, and 

pollution prevention; historical, 

architectural, archaeological, and 

cultural resources; land use; noise and 

noise-compatible land use;

exemptions enable these individuals

I. Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, 

FMCSA may grant an exemption for two 

years if it finds ‘‘such exemption would 

likely achieve a level of safety that is 

equivalent to or greater than the level 

that would be achieved absent such 

exemption.’’ The statute also allows the 

Agency to renew exemptions at the end 

of the two-year period. 

The physical qualification standard 

for drivers regarding epilepsy found in 

49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) states that a person 

is physically qualified to drive a CMV 

if that person: 

Has no established medical history or 

clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other 

condition which is likely to cause the loss of 

consciousness or any loss of ability to control 

a CMV. 

In addition to the regulations, FMCSA 

has published advisory criteria to assist 

Medical Examiners in determining 

whether drivers with certain medical 

conditions are qualified to operate a 

CMV in interstate commerce. [49 CFR 

part 391, APPENDIX A TO PART 391— 

MEDICAL ADVISORY CRITERIA, 

section H. Epilepsy: § 391.41(b)(8), 

paragraphs 3, 4, and 5.] 

The 10 individuals listed in this 

notice have requested renewal of their 

exemptions from the Epilepsy and 

Seizure Disorders prohibition in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(8), in accordance with 

FMCSA procedures. Accordingly, 

FMCSA has evaluated these 

applications for renewal on their merits 

and decided to extend each exemption 

for a renewable two-year period. 

II. Request for Comments 

Interested parties or organizations 

possessing information that would 

otherwise show that any, or all, of these 

drivers are not currently achieving the 

statutory level of safety should 

immediately notify FMCSA. The 

Agency will evaluate any adverse 

evidence submitted and, if safety is 

being compromised or if continuation of 

the exemption would not be consistent 

with the goals and objectives of 49 

U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will 

take immediate steps to revoke the 

exemption of a driver. 

III. Basis for Renewing Exemptions 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an 

exemption may be granted for no longer 

than two years from its approval date 

and may be renewed upon application. 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) 

and 31315, each of the 10 applicants has 

satisfied the conditions for obtaining an 

exemption from the Epilepsy and 

Seizure Disorder requirements and was
