ACTION: Notice of Availability of SEA

AGENCY:
In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969, 42 United States Code
4321–4347 (as amended), Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA
implementing regulations (40 Code of
Federal Regulations [CFR] parts 1500–
1508), and FAA Order 1050.1E, Change
1, the FAA is announcing the
availability of a SEA and FONSI for the
FAA/AST to renew Launch Site
Operator License (LSO–01–005) to SSI
for the continued operation of the
California Spaceport at VAFB,
California. The SEA supplements the
U.S. Air Force February 1995 EA for the
California Spaceport (1995 EA) and was

environmental impacts of the FAA/
AST’s Proposed Action to renew SSI’s
Launch Site Operator License for the
continued operation of the California
Spaceport. The Launch Site Operator
License would be valid for 5 years. The
1995 EA analyzed the potential
environmental impacts of construction
and operation of a commercial launch
facility (which is now the California
Spaceport) at VAFB, California.
Activities addressed in the SEA
include launches of a variety of
vertically-launched launch vehicles
(Minuteman and Castor 120 derivative
boosters) at the California Spaceport
over the 5-year term of the license.
Since 1996 when FAA issued SSI its
first Launch Site Operator License, SSI
has supported eight commercial
launches. Although the terms of the
license do not specify the number of
launches allowed, FAA selected a
conservative value of up to 15 launches
per year has been considered for the
purposes of the SEA’s environmental
analysis. The largest launch vehicle
proposed to launch from the California
Spaceport is the Athena III, consisting of
a two-stage Castor 120 solid-propellant
rocket motor with the addition of up to
six Castor IVA or Castor IVXL rocket
motors strapped to the first stage.
The 1995 EA analyzed the potential
environmental impacts of construction
and operation of a commercial launch
facility (which is now the California
Spaceport) at VAFB, California. The
analysis considered operation of variety
of vertical launch vehicles, including
the Athena III. The proposed activities
at the California Spaceport remain
consistent with those analyzed in the
1995 EA and are incorporated by
reference in the SEA. The SEA
summarizes the data and environmental
analysis presented in the 1995 EA
where the data and analysis remains
substantially valid. In addition, the SEA
provides new data and analysis where
information presented in the 1995 EA is
outdated.
The resource areas considered in the
SEA include air quality; biological
resources (fish, wildlife, and plants);
noise; land use (including coastal
resources); historical, architectural,
archaeological, and cultural resources;
Department of Transportation Section
4(f) Properties; geology and soils;
hazardous materials, pollution
prevention, and solid waste; health and
safety; socioeconomics, environmental
justice, and children’s environmental
health and safety; and water quality
(including floodplains and wetlands).
Potential cumulative impacts of the
Proposed Action were also addressed in
the SEA. Alternatives analyzed in the
PO 00000
Frm 00087
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
57103
SEA included the Proposed Action and
the No Action Alternative. Under the No
Action Alternative, the FAA would not
renew the Launch Site Operator License
to SSI for continued operation of the
California Spaceport at VAFB. Existing
USAF activities would continue at
VAFB.
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
renewal of the Launch Site Operator
License for continued operations of the
California Spaceport at VAFB. The
Proposed 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 SEA and
FONSI on the Internet at https://

Abstract: For Parts 541, 565 and 567.
Part 541
The Motor Vehicle Information and
Cost Savings Act was amended by the
Anti-Car Theft Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102–
519). The enacted Theft Act requires
specified parts of high-theft vehicle to
be marked with vehicle identification
numbers. In a final rule published on
April 6, 2004, the Federal Motor Vehicle
Theft Prevention Standard was
extended to include all passenger cars
and multipurpose passenger vehicles
with a gross vehicle weight rating of
6,000 pounds or less, and to light duty
trucks with major parts that are
interchangeable with a majority of the
covered major parts of multipurpose
passenger vehicles. Each major
component part must be either labeled
or affixed with the VIN and its
replacement component part must be
marked with the DOT symbol, the letter
(R) and the manufacturers’ logo. The
final rule became effective September 1,
2006. Due to expansion of the Federal
Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention
Standard (Part 541), all passenger cars,
and multipurpose passenger vehicles
with a gross vehicle weight rating of
6,000 pounds or less, and light duty
trucks with major parts that are
interchangeable with a majority of the
covered major parts of multipurpose
passenger vehicles, are required to be
parts marked.
NHTSA estimates an hour burden of
550,339 hours and a cost burden of
$108,790,000 million for Part 541.
Parts 565 and 567
The provision of the Part 565
regulation requires vehicle
manufacturers to assign a unique VIN to
each new vehicle and to inform NHTSA
of the code used in forming the VIN.
These regulations apply to all vehicles:
Passenger cars, multipurpose passenger
vehicles, trucks, buses, trailers,
incomplete vehicles, and motorcycles.
NHTSA has amended Part 565 to
revise certain sections in order to extend
the existing VIN system for another
thirty years, and to ensure a sufficient
supply of unique available VINs and
manufacturer identifiers for that time

period (73 FR 23367, April 30, 2008).
The agency required information to be
provided in a slightly different way
(e.g., vehicle make being transferred
from the first to the second section of
the VIN), the scope of the overall
reporting requirement of Part 565 will
not change.
Part 567 specifies the content and
location of, and other requirements for,
the certification label or tag to be affixed
to motor vehicles and motor vehicle
equipment. Specifically, the VIN is
required to appear on the certification
label. Additionally, this certificate will
provide the consumer with information
to assist him or her in determining
which of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards are applicable to the
vehicle or equipment, and its date of
manufacturer.
NHTSA estimates an hour burden of
247,708 hours and a cost burden of
$13,348,000 for Parts 565 and 567.
Affected Public: Vehicle
manufacturers.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
overall total estimated annual hour
burden for this collection is 798,047.
The overall total estimated cost burden
for this collection is $122,138,000
million.
Comments are invited on: Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of
