In the Matter of the Designation of 

Mujahidin Shura Council in the 

Environs of Jerusalem (MSC); Also 

Known as MSC; Also Known as

Acting under the authority of and in 

accordance with section 1(b) of 

Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 

2001, as amended by Executive Order 

13268 of July 2, 2002, and Executive 

Order 13284 of January 23, 2003, I 

hereby determine that the entity known

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

ineffectual the measures authorized in

BILLING CODE 4710–10–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Office of Commercial Space 

Transportation; Notice of Availability 

of the Final Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for Issuing an 

Experimental Permit to Space 

Exploration Technologies Corp. 

(SpaceX) for Operation of the 

DragonFly Vehicle at the McGregor 

Test Site, McGregor, Texas, and 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 

4321, et seq.), Council on 

Environmental Quality NEPA 

implementing regulations (40 CFR Parts 

1500–1508), and FAA Order 1050.1E, 

Change 1, the FAA is announcing the 

availability of the Final EA for Issuing 

an Experimental Permit to SpaceX for 

Operation of the DragonFly Vehicle at 

the McGregor Test Site, McGregor, 

Texas, and FONSI. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Daniel Czelusniak, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue SW., Suite 325, Washington, DC 

20591; email 

Daniel.Czelusniak@faa.gov; or phone 

(202) 267–5924. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final 

EA was prepared to analyze the 

potential environmental impacts of 

SpaceX’s proposal to conduct suborbital 

launches and landings of the DragonFly 

reusable launch vehicle (RLV) at the 

McGregor, Texas test site located in 

McLennan and Coryell Counties. To 

conduct this experimental testing, 

SpaceX must obtain an experimental 

permit from the FAA. Under the 

Proposed Action addressed in the EA, 

the FAA would issue an experimental 

permit to SpaceX, which would 

authorize SpaceX to conduct suborbital 

launches and landings of the DragonFly 

RLV from the McGregor test site. To 

support the DragonFly RLV activities 

under the experimental permit, SpaceX 

would construct a 40 foot (ft) by 40 ft 

launch pad. Therefore, the Proposed 

Action analyzed in the EA includes the 

activities that would be authorized by 

the experimental permit (i.e., the 

operation of the launch vehicle) as well 

as the construction of the launch pad. 

SpaceX anticipates the DragonFly RLV 

program would require up to two years 

to complete (2014–2015). Therefore, the 

Proposed Action considers one new 

permit and one potential permit 

renewal. A maximum of 30 annual 

operations are proposed in each year of 

operation. 

The Final 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 an 

experimental permit to SpaceX for the 

operation of the DragonFly RLV at the 

McGregor test site. Existing SpaceX 

activities would continue at the 

McGregor test site, which include 

engine testing for the Falcon 9 launch 

vehicle. 

The impact categories considered in 

the Final EA include air quality; noise 

and compatible land use; Department of 

Transportation Act: Section 4(f); 

historical, architectural, archaeological, 

and cultural resources; fish, wildlife, 

and plants; water quality (surface 

waters, groundwater, wetlands, and 

floodplains); natural resources and 

energy supply; hazardous materials, 

pollution prevention, and solid waste; 

light emissions and visual impacts; and 

socioeconomics, environmental justice, 

and children’s environmental health 

and safety risks. The Final EA also 

considers the potential cumulative 

environmental impacts. 

The FAA has posted the Final EA and 

FONSI on the FAA Web site at http:// 

www.faa.gov/about/office_org/ 

headquarters_offices/ast/ 

environmental/review/permits/. 

The FAA published a Notice of 

Availability of the Draft EA in the 

Federal Register on May 21, 2014. A 

Notice of Availability of the Draft EA 

was also published in The McGregor 

Mirror on May 22, 2014. The FAA 

mailed copies of the Draft EA to the 

following agencies: Texas Historical 

Commission (State Historic Preservation 

Officer), Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality, Texas Parks and 

Wildlife Department, and U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service. An electronic version 

of the Draft EA was also made available 

on the FAA Web site. In addition, the 

FAA printed and mailed a copy of the 

Draft EA to the McGinley Memorial 

Library, located at 317 Main Street, 

McGregor, Texas 76657. The public 

comment period ended on June 19, 

2014. The FAA received letters from the 

U.S. Department of Interior, Texas Parks 

and Wildlife Department, and Tonkawa 

Tribe of Oklahoma. The Final EA 

responds to all substantive comments 

and includes any changes or edits 

resulting from the comments received.
