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.

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.

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.

Public Notice for Waiver of 

Aeronautical Land-use Assurance; 

Seymour (Freeman) Municipal Airport, 

Seymour, IN 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with 

respect to land. 

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.
