period on the Draft EA may not be 

considered if they are raised for the first 

time later in the decision process. This 

comment 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. 

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 

you can ask us in your comment to 

withhold from the public review your 

personal identifying information, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

The FAA has prepared the Draft EA 

to evaluate the potential environmental 

impacts of the construction and 

operation of the SLF as a launch 

location for horizontally launched and 

landed launch vehicles and issuing a 

Launch Site Operator License to Space 

Florida at the SLF. The EA considers the 

potential environmental impacts of the 

Proposed Action and the No Action 

Alternative. The successful completion 

of the environmental review process 

does not guarantee that the FAA Office 

of Commercial Space Transportation 

would issue a Launch Site Operator 

License to Space Florida. The project 

must also meet all FAA requirements of 

a Launch Site Operator License. 

Individual launch operators proposing 

to launch from the site would be 

required to obtain a separate launch 

operator license. 

The Proposed Action is for Space 

Florida to construct facilities related to 

the proposed launch site and for the 

FAA to issue a Launch Site Operator 

License to Space Florida for the 

operation of a commercial space launch 

site at the SLF. The Proposed Action 

would also allow Space Florida to offer 

the commercial space launch site at the 

SLF to commercial space operators to 

support their application to acquire a 

launch license or experimental permit 

(when their operations match those 

described and assessed within this EA) 

to allow them to conduct horizontal 

launches and horizontal landings of 

launch vehicles at the SLF. The 

alternatives under consideration include 

the Proposed Action and the No Action 

Alternative. Under the No Action 

Alternative, the FAA would not issue a 

Launch Site Operator License to Space 

Florida.
