Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 163 / Tuesday, August 23, 2011 / Notices
50901(b)(3). A license is required to
launch a launch vehicle, reenter a
reentry vehicle, or operate a launch or
reentry site within the United States or
by a U.S. citizen. 51 U.S.C. 50904(a)(1)–
(4). The FAA issues permits for the
launch of reusable suborbital rockets
pursuant to the requirements of 51
U.S.C. 50906. Title 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(2)
applies to final authorizations the FAA
issues to an applicant, and the FAA
should therefore make authorizations
‘‘available for public inspection, and
copying.’’ 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(2).
In compliance with the
Administrative Procedure Act, as well
as recent guidance from the White
House, the FAA is planning to post all
current and future authorizations online
in order to increase agency efficiency,
effectiveness, and transparency. The
FAA receives Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) requests for authorizations,
and publishing this information online
would save the agency both the time
and resources used to process and
respond to these FOIA requests. The
President’s recent memorandum on
regulatory compliance encourages
agencies to make readily accessible to
the public information concerning their
regulatory compliance and enforcement
activities. Presidential Memoranda—
Regulatory Compliance (January 18,
2011); available at https://
www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/
2011/01/18/presidential-memorandaregulatory-compliance. Publishing
authorizations online furthers the FAA’s
goal of transparency, openness, and
public access by making it easier and
faster for the public to obtain
information regarding AST licensing
and permit activities.
Information contained in
authorizations is typically not
confidential. Typical information
provided in a launch license or permit
and any accompanying orders includes
the specific types of vehicles the
authorization applies to, the launch
location, and the amount of liability and
government property insurance the FAA
requires the authorized entity to
maintain. Launch licenses also include
the term of the license, the authorized
azimuths of the launch vehicle, and any
type of payload. In some cases, such as
a Pegasus launch or a launch under a
permit, the launch license will define
when flight begins. Insurance
information has historically been
published on the FAA website.
Information including the launch area
and the date and time of the launch is
VerDate Mar<15>2010

provided in publicly available notices to
airmen and mariners.2
Information in a site license includes
the site location, site activities, type of
launch vehicle authorized for the site,
and the term of the license.
Information provided in a reentry
license includes the term of the license,
the term of insurance coverage, and the
nominal reentry locations. The
insurance information is publicly
available, now on the FAA’s Web site,
and the nominal reentry area locations
are publicly available in notices to
airmen and mariners.
Notices to airmen and mariners are
publicly available documents, but they
do not provide the same information
contained in a license. A notice to
airmen and mariners will contain
coordinates for an area to alert airmen
and mariners of hazards during a
specified time period for safety reasons.
For reentry, this area is calculated based
on the reentry vehicle’s possible impact
points. While launch locations are
generally well-known because launches
occur from established launch pads,
reentry locations may be the result of an
operator’s own calculations and
decisions. Notices to airmen that restrict
air traffic during a reentry do not
provide the nominal reentry points that
the FAA currently includes in the
operator’s license. Therefore, operators
may have concerns about reverse
engineering using the reentry data
provided in licenses. While the FAA
will continue to include nominal and
contingency reentry points in
authorizations, operators will have the
opportunity to request that the
information be redacted from online
publication if they consider it
confidential. If an operator makes such
a request, the FAA will examine the
operator’s rationale and make a
determination regarding whether or not
the information is confidential.
Most licenses and permits do not
contain confidential information or
data. However, for those occasions
where specific license terms or
conditions reflect circumstances unique
to a particular operator, there are
protections available under the statute
and regulations. Applicants for a license
can protect trade secrets or proprietary
commercial or financial data by
requesting in writing that the
information be treated as confidential at
the time it is submitted. 14 CFR
413.9(a). Information or data the
applicant wishes to protect must be

available on the FAA Web site for two months after
their effective date at: https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/

clearly marked with an identifying
legend, or cover sheet containing an
identifying legend. 14 CFR 413.9(b).
The FOIA exempts from mandatory
disclosure trade secrets and privileged
or confidential commercial or financial
information. 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4).
Information that ‘‘is designated as
confidential by the person or head of the
executive agency providing the
information’’ or that qualifies for an
exemption under FOIA can be disclosed
by the Secretary of Transportation, an
officer or employee of the United States
Government, or a person making a
contract with the Secretary under
section 50906(b) of this title ‘‘if the
Secretary decides that the withholding
of the information or data is contrary to
the public or national interest.’’ 51
U.S.C. 50916; 14 CFR 413.9(d).
In some cases, licenses contain
specific terms and conditions tailored
for a particular licensee. Even so, terms
and conditions typically do not contain
confidential information, and the FAA
will publish these terms and conditions
online. The terms may have a useful
effect that others may want to be aware
of. In the event that the terms and
conditions contain confidential
information, the licensee can follow the
procedures to protect confidential
information described above. The FAA
will be providing the public with
potentially useful information by
making this information more readily
available through online publication.
Before implementing this new policy,
the FAA requests comment from the
public, and is providing a period of 30
days for comment.

Background
On May 31, 2009, an Airbus A330–
203 operated by Air France as flight
number 447 (AF 447), bound for the
Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris, France,
crashed into the Atlantic Ocean 2 hours
and 10 minutes after taking off from Rio
˜
de Janeiro’s, Galeao Airport. Search and
rescue operations were conducted by
the French and Brazilian authorities but
the flight data recorder and cockpit
voice recorder were not recovered until
April 2011 during a fourth search and
recovery effort.
ˆ
The Bureau d’Enquetes et d’Analyses
´
´
pour la Securite de L’aviation Civile
(BEA), which is the authority
responsible for the investigation of the
AF 447 accident, released a second
interim report, dated December 17,
2009. The report includes safety
recommendations to the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the
International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO), one of which is to
‘‘extend as rapidly as possible to 90
days the regulatory transmission time
for underwater locator beacons installed
on flight recorders on airplanes
performing public transport flights over
maritime areas.’’ The FAA agrees with
the BEA’s recommendation, and via a
letter dated January 28, 2010, requested
that SAE International form an industry
working group to revise the minimum
performance standard (MPS), AS8045,
Underwater Locating Devices (Acoustic)
(Self-Powered), to increase the
minimum operating life of Underwater
Locating Devices (Acoustic) (SelfPowered), from 30 days to 90 days. SAE
International published AS8045A, dated
August 3, 2011. The FAA will revise
TSO–C121a to invoke the new SAE
standard. When TSO–C121b is
published the FAA will withdraw TSO–
C121 and TSO–C121a authorizations no
later than March 1, 2014. All
Underwater Locating Devices (Acoustic)
(Self-Powered) equipment
manufacturers seeking TSO
authorization will need to obtain
authorization to manufacture in
accordance with TSO–C121b.
