BILLING CODE 3290–F5–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Office of Commercial Space 

Transportation; Notice of Availability 

of the Final Environmental 

Assessment (Final EA), Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI), and Record 

of Decision (ROD) for the Houston 

Spaceport, City of Houston, Harris 

County, Texas 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the 

Final EA and FONSI/ROD. 

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 the Final EA and FONSI/ 

ROD for the Houston Spaceport. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Daniel Czelusniak, Office of Commercial 

Space Transportation, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 800 Independence Ave. 

SW., Suite 325, Washington DC 20591; 

phone (202) 267–5924; or email 

Daniel.Czelusniak@faa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final 

EA was prepared to analyze the 

potential environmental impacts of 

Houston Airport System’s (HAS’s) 

proposal to establish and operate a 

commercial space launch site at the 

Ellington Airport (EFD), in Houston, 

Texas and offer the site to prospective 

commercial space launch operators for 

the operation of horizontal take-off and 

horizontal landing Concept X and 

Concept Z reusable launch vehicles 

(RLVs). To operate a commercial space 

launch site, HAS must obtain a 

commercial space launch site operator 

license from the FAA. Under the 

Proposed Action addressed in the Final 

EA, the FAA would: (1) Issue a launch 

site operator license to HAS for the 

operation of a commercial space launch 

site at EFD; (2) issue launch licenses to 

prospective commercial space launch 

operators that would allow them to 

conduct launches of horizontal take-off 

and horizontal landing Concept X and 

Concept Z RLVs from EFD, and (3) 

provide unconditional approval to the 

Airport Layout Plan (ALP) 

modifications that reflect the 

designation of a spaceport boundary and 

construction of planned spaceport 

facilities and infrastructure. Proposed 

launch operations would begin in 2015 

and continue through 2019 in 

accordance with the terms of the launch 

site operator license. HAS proposes to 

provide RLV operators the ability to 

conduct up to 50 launches and landings 

(or 100 operations) per year, with 

approximately five percent of the 

operations expected to occur during 

night-time hours. 

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 a 

launch site operator license to HAS, and 

thus no launch licenses would be issued 

to individual commercial space launch 

vehicle operators to operate at EFD. 

Also, there would be no need to update 

the EFD ALP, and thus there would be 

no FAA approval of a revised ALP. 

Existing operations would continue at 

EFD, which is currently classified as a 

general aviation reliever airport. 

The environmental impact categories 

considered in the Final EA include air 

quality; climate; coastal resources; 

compatible land use; Department of 

Transportation Act: Section 4(f); fish, 

wildlife, and plants; floodplains; 

hazardous materials, pollution 

prevention, and solid waste; historical, 

architectural, archaeological, and 

cultural resources; light emissions and 

visual impacts; natural resources and 

energy supply; noise; socioeconomics, 

environmental justice, and children’s 

environmental health and safety risks; 

water quality; and wetlands. The Final 

EA also considers the potential 

secondary (induced) impacts and 

cumulative impacts. 

The FAA has posted the Final EA and 

FONSI/ROD on the FAA Office of 

Commercial Space Transportation Web 

site: http://www.faa.gov/about/

Petition For Exemption 

Docket No.: FAA–2014–0661 

Petitioner: The Boeing Company 

Section of 14 CFR Affected: 

14 CFR 25.979(d) and (e) 

Description of Relief Sought: 

The petitioner requests relief from the 

use of industry standard pressures for 

onloads and offloads installations of the 

767–2C modified supplemental type 

certificate (STC) to ensure consistency 

within the current military fleet. The 

baseline 767–2C aircraft will be 

modified to be an in-flight tanker and 

receiver. The onload and offload 

installations could experience surge 

pressures that approach 240 pounds per 

square inch gage (PSIG). The baseline 

767–2C aircraft designed to the 

maximum burst pressure of 360 PSIG 

will not meet the regulatory requirement 

of 2.0 times the ultimate load at 

maximum pressures, including surge.
