DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Office of Commercial Space
Transportation; Notice of Availability
and Request for Comment on a Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Spaceport America Commercial
Launch Site, Sierra County, NM
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation.
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
regulations and FAA Order 1050.1E,
Change 1, the FAA is announcing the
availability of Final EIS for the
Spaceport America Commercial Launch
Site, Sierra County, New Mexico. The
FAA, Office of Commercial Space
Transportation is the lead Federal
agency for the development of this EIS.
Cooperating agencies include the
Bureau of Land Management; the
National Park Service; United States
Army, White Sands Missile Range
(WSMR); and the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration.
The Final EIS was prepared in
response to an application for a Launch
Site Operator License from the New
Mexico Spaceport Authority (NMSA).
Under the Proposed Action, the FAA
would issue a Launch Site Operator
License to NMSA to operate a launch
facility capable of accommodating both
horizontal and vertical launches of
suborbital launch vehicles (LVs). The
vehicles may carry space flight
participants, scientific experiments, or
other payloads. The proposed site is
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
located in Sierra County, approximately
30 miles southeast of Truth or
Consequences, New Mexico, and 45
miles north of Las Cruces, New Mexico.
The Final EIS also addresses the
potential environmental impacts of
issuing a Launch Site Operator License
for horizontal launches only
(Alternative 1), vertical launches only
(Alternative 2), and the No Action
Alternative.
The FAA submitted the Final EIS to
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). EPA will post a separate
notification in the Federal Register
announcing the availability of the Final
EIS. The FAA will issue a Record of
Decision no sooner than 30 days
following EPA’s notice in the Federal
Register. The Record of Decision will be
published in the Federal Register.
The FAA has posted the Final EIS on
the FAA Web site at https://ast.faa.gov.
In addition, CDs of the Final EIS were
sent to persons and agencies on the
distribution list (found in Chapter 8 of
the Final EIS). A paper copy and a CD
version of the Final EIS may be
reviewed for comment during regular
business hours at the following
locations:
Hatch Public Library, P.O. Box 289,
Hatch, NM 87937;
Sunland Park Community Library, 984
McNutt Road, Bldg. F–10, Sunland
Park, NM 88063;

Truth or Consequences Public Library,

Consequences, NM 87901;
Truth or Consequences Public Library—
Downtown, 401 Foch St, Truth or
Consequences, NM 87901.
Additional Information: Under the
Proposed Action, the FAA would issue
a Launch Site Operator License to
NMSA that would allow the State to
operate the proposed Spaceport
America Commercial Launch Site for
both horizontal and vertical suborbital
LV launches. Horizontal LVs would
launch and land at the proposed
Spaceport America airfield. Vertical LVs
would launch from Spaceport America
and either land at Spaceport America or
at WSMR. Rocket-powered vertical
landing vehicles would land on either
the Spaceport America airfield or a
vertical launch/landing pad.

Sfmt 4703
In addition, the Proposed Action
includes construction of facilities
needed to support the licensed launch
activities at the proposed launch site.
Development of Spaceport America
infrastructure would occur in two
phases. The total area of land disturbed
by construction would be approximately
970 acres; the total area of the final
facilities footprint would be
approximately 145 acres. The proposed
Spaceport America boundary would
encompass approximately 26 square
miles. This area currently contains both
State and private land.
Operational activities in support of
the Proposed Action would begin as
soon as the phased construction
activities related to the Proposed Action
were completed. The operational
activities that may have environmental
consequences and would support, either
directly or indirectly, licensed launches
include:
• Transport of Launch Vehicles to the
Assembly or Staging Areas.
• Transport and Storage of Rocket
Propellants and Other Fuels.
• Launch, Landing and Recovery
Activities for Horizontal Vehicles.
• Launch, Landing and Recovery
Activities for Vertical Vehicles.
• Other Activities
—Ground-Based Tests and Static
Firings.
—Training.
—X Prize Cup Events.
The FAA identified two alternatives
and the No Action Alternative to the
Proposed Action, which are considered
in the Final EIS. Under Alternative 1,
FAA would consider issuing a Launch
Site Operator License only for the
operation of a launch site to support
horizontal launches. This is considered
a feasible alternative because a
significant number of launches of
horizontal LVs are projected, and most
X Prize Cup activities would be located
at the airfield.
Under Alternative 2, FAA would
consider issuing a Launch Site Operator
License only for the operation of a
launch site to support vertical launches.
This is considered a feasible alternative
because a significant number of
launches are projected to be of vertical
LVs.
Under the No Action Alternative, the
FAA would not issue a Launch Site
Operator License to the NMSA.
Subsequently, the need to support
commercial launches and host the X
Prize Cup would not be met by the State
of New Mexico.
Resource areas were considered to
provide a context for understanding and
assessing the potential environmental
effects of the Proposed Action, with
