1474 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 12, 2016 / Notices 

National Space Transportation Policy 

clearly identifies how strengthening US 

competitiveness in the international 

launch market and improving the cost 

effectiveness of US space transportation 

services are in the public interests: 

‘‘Maintaining an assured capability to 

meet United States Government needs, 

while also taking the necessary steps to 

strengthen U.S. competitiveness in the 

international commercial launch 

market, is important to ensuring that 

U.S. space transportation capabilities 

will be reliable, robust, safe, and 

affordable in the future. Among other 

steps, improving the cost effectiveness 

of U.S. space transportation services 

could help achieve this goal by allowing 

the United States Government to invest 

a greater share of its resources in other 

needs such as facilities modernization, 

technology advancement, scientific 

discovery, and national security. 

Further, a healthier, more competitive 

U.S. space transportation industry 

would facilitate new markets, encourage 

new industries, create high technology 

jobs, lead to greater economic growth 

and security, and would further the 

Nation’s leadership role in space.’’ 

SpaceX’s proposed demonstration is in 

the public interest.
