DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Office of Commercial Space 

Transportation; Notice of Availability 

and Request for Comment on the 

Second Draft Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the Kodiak 

Launch Complex Launch Pad 3, 

Kodiak Island, Alaska 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTIONS: Notice of Availability, Notice 

of Public Comment Period, and Request 

for Comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (NEPA; 42 United 

States Code 4321 et seq.), Council on 

Environmental Quality NEPA 

implementing regulations (40 Code of 

Federal Regulations parts 1500 to 1508), 

and FAA Order 1050.1E, Change 1, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, the FAA is announcing the 

availability of and requesting comments 

on the Second Draft Environmental 

Assessment for the Kodiak Launch 

Complex Launch Pad 3 (Second Draft 

EA). 

On September 15, 2014, the FAA 

issued a Draft EA for public review and 

comment and received 54 written 

comments and 26 oral comments over 

the public comment and review period 

that was extended to November 1, 2014. 

After taking into consideration the 

nature of public comments received on 

the Draft EA, the FAA is providing the 

public with an opportunity to review 

and comment on updates and 

clarification information that have since 

been added to the EA in response to 

public comments. The FAA is issuing 

an updated version of the Draft EA for 

a second public review and comment 

period.

Administration, c/o ICF International,

telephone (202) 267–9305. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Second Draft EA is an updated version 

of the September 2014 Draft EA, and 

incorporates all public comments 

received on the Draft EA. All written 

and oral public comments received on 

the Draft EA, as well as the FAA’s 

responses to these comments, can be 

found in Appendix R of the Second 

Draft EA. The FAA considered all 

public comments while preparing the 

Second Draft EA, and changes have 

been made to the EA where warranted. 

The EA was prepared to analyze the 

potential environmental impacts of the 

FAA modifying the Alaska Aerospace 

Corporation’s (AAC’s) Launch Site 

Operator License to include medium-lift 

launch capability at the Kodiak Launch 

Complex (KLC), a commercial launch 

site currently operated under a FAA 

Launch Site Operator License (LSO–03– 

008), which authorizes only small-lift 

operations. The Kodiak Launch 

Complex was renamed as Pacific 

Spaceport Complex Alaska, effective 

April 21, 2015. The EA keeps the name 

as KLC for continuity and ease of 

reviewing. 

Expansion of launch capabilities at 

KLC would include the addition of new 

infrastructure necessary to support 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 234 / Monday, December 7, 2015 / Notices 76059 

medium-lift launches, including the 

construction of a launch pad and 

associated facilities. As part of the 

Proposed Action addressed in the EA, 

AAC would make improvements to the 

KLC to add both solid and liquidpropellant, medium-lift launch 

capability, and to operate the KLC in the 

future as a small-lift and medium-lift 

launch complex. Proposed construction 

at KLC includes six primary 

modifications: Construction of Launch 

Pad 3 (LP3), a vehicle processing 

facility, rocket staging facility, liquid 

fuel facility, mission control center and 

improvements to Pasagshak Point Road. 

Proposed launch operations would 

include up to six orbital small-lift 

launches and three medium-lift 

launches per year from the existing 

launch pads and from the proposed LP3; 

however, to be conservative in the 

analysis of potential environmental 

impacts, the EA assumes a maximum of 

nine medium-lift launches per year. 

The 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 modify 

AAC’s Launch Site Operator License to 

include medium-lift launch capability 

and AAC would not proceed with the 

construction of medium-lift launch 

support infrastructure at KLC. Existing 

launch activities for up to nine orbital 

small-lift class launches per year from 

the existing launch pads would 

continue. 

The impact categories considered in 

the EA include air quality; compatible 

land use; Department of Transportation 

Act: Section 4(f); fish, wildlife, and 

plants; hazardous materials, pollution 

prevention, and solid waste; historical, 

architectural, archaeological, and 

cultural resources; light emissions and 

visual impacts; natural resources and 

energy supply; noise; socioeconomic, 

environmental justice, and children’s 

environmental health and safety risk; 

water quality; and wetlands. The EA 

also considers the potential cumulative 

environmental impacts. 

The FAA has posted the Second Draft 

EA on the FAA Office of Commercial 

Space Transportation Web site: http://

www.faa.gov/about/office_org/

headquarters_offices/ast/

environmental/nepa_docs/review/

documents_progress/kodiak_launch/. 

A paper copy and a CD version of the 

Second Draft EA may be reviewed for 

comment during regular business hours 

at the following libraries: 

• Kodiak Public Library, 612 Egan Way, 

Kodiak, AK 99615 

• University of Alaska Anchorage— 

Carolyn Floyd Library, 117 Benny 

Benson Drive, Kodiak, AK 99615 

• Anchorage Municipal Library, 3600 

Denali St., Anchorage, AK 99503 

DATES: The FAA encourages all 

interested parties to provide comments 

concerning the scope and content of the 

Second Draft EA. To ensure that all 

comments can be addressed in the Final 

EA, comments on the draft must be 

received by the FAA no later than 

January 11, 2016. Comments should be 

as specific as possible and address the 

analysis of potential environmental 

impacts and the adequacy of the 

proposed action or merits of alternatives 

and the mitigation being considered. 

Reviewers should organize their 

comments to be meaningful and inform 

the FAA of their interests and concerns 

by quoting or providing specific 

references to the text of the Second Draft 

EA. Matters that could have been raised 

with specificity during the comment 

period on the Second Draft EA may not 

be considered if they are raised for the 

first time later in the decision process. 

This commenting 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 public review your 

personal identifying information, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2012–0032] 

Commercial Driver’s License 

Standards: Application for Exemption; 

Daimler Trucks North America 

(Daimler) 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition; grant 

of application for exemption. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to grant Daimler Trucks North 

America’s (Daimler) application for an 

exemption to allow a Daimler employee 

to drive commercial motor vehicles 

(CMV) in the United States without 

having a commercial driver’s license 

(CDL) issued by one of the States. The 

driver, Michael Seitter, will test-drive 

Daimler vehicles on U.S. roads to better 

understand product requirements for 

these vehicles in ‘‘real world’’ 

environments and verify results. He 

holds a valid German commercial 

license but lacks the U.S. residency 

necessary to obtain a CDL issued by one 

of the States. FMCSA believes that the 

process for obtaining a German 

commercial license is comparable to or 

as effective as the U.S. CDL 

requirements and ensures that this 

driver will likely achieve a level of 

safety that is equivalent to or greater 

than the level of safety that would be 

obtained in the absence of the 

exemption. 

DATES: This exemption is effective 

December 7, 2015 and expires December 

7, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Docket: For access to the 

docket to read background documents 

or comments, go to www.regulations.gov 

at any time or visit Room W12–140 on 

the ground level of the West Building,

p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The on-line 

FDMS is available 24 hours each day, 

365 days each year. 

Privacy Act: In accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments
