DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Availability and Request for 

Comment on the Draft Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the Launch and 

Reentry of SpaceShipTwo Reusable 

Suborbital Rockets at the Mojave Air 

and Space Port 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), lead Federal 

agency and United States Air Force and 

National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration, cooperating agencies. 

ACTIONS: Notice of Availability, Notice 

of Public Comment Period, and Request 

for Comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, 42 United States Code 

§ 4321–4347 (as amended), Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA 

implementing regulations (40 Code of 

Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500– 

1508), and FAA Order 1050.1E, Change 

1, the FAA is announcing the 

availability of and requesting comments 

on the Draft EA for the Launch and 

Reentry of SpaceShipTwo Reusable 

Suborbital Rockets at the Mojave Air 

and Space Port. 

The Draft EA was prepared to analyze 

the potential environmental impacts of 

issuing experimental permits and/or 

launch licenses to operate 

SpaceShipTwo Reusable Suborbital 

Rockets and WhiteKnightTwo carrier 

aircraft at the Mojave Air and Space Port 

in Mojave, California. Under the 

Proposed Action, the FAA would issue 

experimental permits and/or launch 

licenses to multiple operators for the 

operation of SpaceShipTwo and 

WhiteKnightTwo at the Mojave Air and 

Space Port. Both WhiteKnightTwo and 

SpaceShipTwo would be piloted during 

operations. The Mojave Air and Space 

Port comprises an area of approximately 

3,000 acres in Kern County, California, 

and is east of the unincorporated town 

of Mojave. The Draft EA addresses the 

potential environmental impacts of 

implementing the Proposed Action and 

the No Action Alternative of not issuing 

an experimental permit and/or launch 

license for the operation of 

SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo at 

the Mojave Air and Space Port. 

The FAA has posted the Draft EA on 

the FAA/AST Web site at http:// 

www.faa.gov/about/office_org/ 

headquarters_offices/ast/ 

environmental/review/permits/. A paper 

copy of the Draft EA may be reviewed 

for comment during regular business

DATES: Interested parties are invited to 

submit comments on environmental 

issues and concerns on or before April 

13, 2012, or 30 days from the date of 

publication of this Notice of 

Availability, whichever is later. 

ADDRESSES: Please submit comments in 

writing to Mr. Daniel Czelusniak, 

Environmental Program Lead, Office of 

Commercial Space Transportation, 

Federal Aviation Administration, 800 

Independence Avenue SW., Room 325, 

Washington, DC 20591; or by email at 

Daniel.Czelusniak@faa.gov. 

Additional Information: Under the 

Proposed Action, the FAA would issue 

experimental permits and/or launch 

licenses for the operation of 

SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo at 

the Mojave Air and Space Port in 

Mojave, CA. The Proposed Action does 

not include any construction activities. 

The Mojave Air and Space Port’s 

existing infrastructure would be used 

for takeoff and landing activities. 

Experimental permits would be valid for 

one year. Launch licenses would be 

valid for up to two years. The FAA 

could renew experimental permits and 

launch licenses if requested, in writing, 

by the permitees at least 60 days before 

the permit expires, and/or by the 

licensees at least 90 days before the 

license expires. The Draft EA assumes 

that the FAA could issue either new or 

renewed experimental permits and/or 

launch licenses. For purposes of 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

14856 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 49 / Tuesday, March 13, 2012 / Notices 

analyzing environmental impacts in the 

Draft EA, the FAA developed a 

conservative set of assumptions 

regarding the possible number of 

launches and reentries that could be 

conducted under any one experimental 

permit and/or launch license for the 

SpaceShipTwo at the Mojave Air and 

Space Port. The FAA has assumed a 

maximum of up to 30 total launches and 

reentries per year of SpaceShipTwo for 

a total of up to 150 launches and 

reentries of SpaceShipTwo between 

2012 and 2016. This estimation is a 

conservative number and considers 

potential multiple launches per day and 

potential launch aborts. 

The only alternative to the Proposed 

Action analyzed in the Draft EA is the 

No Action Alternative. Under the No 

Action Alternative, the FAA would not 

issue experimental permits and/or 

launch licenses for the operation of 

SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo 

from the Mojave Air and Space Port. 

Existing operations at Mojave Air and 

Space Port would continue. 

The resource areas considered in the 

Draft EA include air quality; biological 

resources (including fish, wildlife, and 

plants); historical, architectural, 

archaeological, and cultural resources; 

hazardous materials, pollution 

prevention, and solid waste; health and 

safety; land use (including Department 

of Transportation Section 4(f) 

properties); light emissions and visual 

resources; noise and compatible land 

use; socioeconomic resources, 

environmental justice, and children’s 

environmental health and safety; and 

cumulative impacts.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Public Meeting With Interested 

Persons To Discuss the Proposed 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

Draft Technical Standard Order (TSO)– 

C199 Establishing the Minimum 

Performance Standard (MPS) for Low 

Powered Surveillance Equipment 

(LPSE) 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of public meetings. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) will be holding a 

public meeting to discuss issuing a new 

Technical Standard Order (TSO). This 

TSO will define a minimum 

performance standard (MPS) for avionic 

surveillance equipment, for aircraft that 

are currently exempt from using ATC 

transponder and altitude reporting 

equipment or automatic dependent 

surveillance-broadcast (ADS–B Out) 

equipment as defined in Title 14 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

§§ 91.215 and 91.225. 

Meeting Dates and Location: 

DATES: This meeting will be held on 

April 4–5, in Washington, DC. 

ADDRESSES: FAA Headquarters, 800 

Independence Ave. SW., Washington, 

DC 20591. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

obtain additional details and to register 

for this meeting, please contact: Mr. 

John Fisher, AIR–130, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Aircraft Certification 

Service, Avionics Systems Branch, 470

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Currently, certain types of aircraft, 

such as gliders, balloons, and aircraft 

not originally certified with an electrical 

system, as defined in §§ 91.215(b)(3), 

91.215(b)(5), 91.225(e)(1), and 

91.225(e)(2), are not required to carry a 

transponder or ADS–B Out equipment 

when flying in the National Airspace 

System (NAS). Available data shows 

that where glider flight operations 

coincide with powered aircraft flight 

operations, the likelihood of a mishap is 

greatest. To mitigate this risk, the FAA 

proposes a new, low powered 

surveillance system (LPSE) that will 

interface with aircraft equipped with 

current collision avoidance systems, 

such as Traffic Avoidance System 

(TAS), Traffic Alert and Collision 

Avoidance System I and II (TCAS I) 

(TCAS II), and those aircraft equipped 

with ADS–B In and display capability. 

The FAA intends to hold a public 

meeting to facilitate a technical 

interchange with equipment 

manufacturers, potential users, and 

interested parties, to discuss technical 

LPSE design considerations. The FAA 

envisions a new TSO–C199, Low 

Powered Surveillance Equipment 

(LPSE) that will provide an effective 

way for gliders, balloons, and aircraft 

not originally certified with an electrical 

system to interface with current 

collision avoidance systems. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on March 7, 

2012.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is considering a 

proposal to change a portion of airport 

land from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use at the Seymour 

(Freeman) Field Municipal Airport in 

Seymour, Indiana. The proposal 

consists of 871 acres located outside of 

the fenced in portion of airport 

property. This land is currently being 

farmed. The entire 871 acres is part of 

Quitclaim Deed from the United States 

Department of Defense in 1941. It is the 

intent of the Seymour Airport 

Authority, as owner and operator of 

Seymour (Freeman) Municipal Airport 

(SER) to lease or sell the entire 871 acres 

as an industrial park. This notice 

announces that the FAA is considering 

the release of the subject airport 

property at Seymour (Freeman) 

Municipal Airport, from all federal land 

covenants. Approval does not constitute 

a commitment by the FAA to financially 

assist in disposal of the subject airport 

property nor a determination that all 

measures covered by the program are 

eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the 

FAA.
