the air. The 2001 PEIS evaluated the
impacts of launching 72 small capacity
rockets, including the Pegasus launch
vehicle family, over a 10-year period.
The estimated annual number of
launches ranged from four to nine
launches, with an average of seven
annual launches. The rate of Pegasus
launches at CCAFS under the FAA’s
Proposed Action would not be expected
to exceed the rate of launches analyzed
in the 2001 PEIS. The only alternative
to the Proposed Action is the No Action
Alternative. Under this Alternative, the
FAA would not issue or renew Launch
Operator Licenses to operate Pegasus
launch vehicles at CCAFS.
Resource areas were considered to
provide a context for understanding and
assessing the potential environmental
effects of the Proposed Action, with
attention focused on key issues. The
resources areas considered in the Final
EA included air quality; biological
resources (including fish, wildlife, and
plants); compatible land use;
Department of Transportation Section
4(f) resources; hazardous materials,
pollution prevention, and solid waste;
historical, architectural, archaeological,
and cultural resources; noise;
socioeconomic impacts; and water
quality (including floodplains and
wetlands). Potential cumulative impacts
of the Proposed Action were also
addressed in the Final EA.
After careful and thorough
consideration of available data and
information on existing conditions and
potential impacts, the FAA has
determined that there will be no
significant short-term, long-term, or
cumulative impacts to the environment
or surrounding populations from the
issuance or renewal of Launch Operator
Licenses to operate Pegasus launch
vehicles at CCAFS. The proposed
Federal action is consistent with
existing national environmental policies
and objectives as set forth in Section
101 of NEPA and other applicable
environmental requirements and will
not significantly affect the quality of the
human environment within the meaning
of NEPA. Therefore, an Environmental
Impact Statement for the Proposed
Action is not required and the FAA
issued a FONSI.
The FAA has posted the Final EA and
FONSI on the FAA Office of
Commercial Space Transportation Web
site at https://www.faa.gov/about/
