Based upon a review of the
Administrative Record assembled in
this matter, and in consultation with the
Attorney General and the Secretary of
the Treasury, I conclude that the
circumstances that were the basis for the
designation of the United Self-Defense
Forces of Colombia as foreign terrorist
organization have changed in such a
manner as to warrant revocation of the
designation.
Therefore, I hereby determine that the
designation of the United Self-Defense
Forces of Colombia as a foreign terrorist
organization, pursuant to Section 219 of
the Immigration and Nationality Act, as

Jkt 232001
Policies and Procedures, the FAA is
announcing the availability of the ROD
for the SpaceX Texas Launch Site,
Cameron County, Texas. The ROD
provides the FAA’s final environmental
determination and approval to support
the issuance of launch licenses and/or
experimental permits that would allow
Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
(SpaceX) to launch the Falcon 9 and
Falcon Heavy orbital vertical launch
vehicles and a variety of reusable
suborbital launch vehicles from a
launch site on privately owned property
in Cameron County, Texas, as proposed
in the Final Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) published in May 2014.
The ROD provides a description of the
applicant’s Proposed Action and
reasonable alternatives, and identifies
the FAA’s preferred and the
environmentally preferred alternative. It
includes a discussion of environmental
impacts associated with the Proposed
Action in each resource area, as
analyzed in the Final EIS. The ROD
summarizes the mitigation and
enforcement actions that would be made
the subject of the terms and conditions
of the launch licenses and/or
experimental permits issued to SpaceX,
as well as other conservation and
enhancement measures described in the
Final EIS and presented for
consideration.
The Final EIS, prepared by the FAA
for the SpaceX Texas Launch Site,
serves as the primary reference and
basis for preparation of the ROD. The
Final EIS documents the analysis of
environmental consequences associated
with the construction and operation of
the SpaceX Texas Launch Site and the
No Action Alternative. The FAA is the
lead Federal agency responsible for
preparation of the EIS and ROD.
Cooperating agencies include the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, National Park Service
(NPS), U.S. Army White Sands Missile
Range, and U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE). The EIS and ROD
were prepared pursuant to the
requirements of NEPA, the CEQ
Regulations for Implementing the
Procedural Provisions of NEPA, and
FAA Order 1050.1E, Change 1,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures.
The FAA has posted the ROD on the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Proposed Action, which is the FAA’s
preferred alternative, the FAA would
issue launch licenses and/or
experimental permits to SpaceX that
would allow SpaceX to conduct
launches of the Falcon 9 and Falcon
Heavy orbital vertical launch vehicles,
and a variety of reusable suborbital
launch vehicles, from an exclusive-use
launch site on privately owned property
in Cameron County, Texas. The site
(including the control center area and
vertical launch area) consists of up to
four parcels totaling 68.9 acres of land
near the terminus of State Highway 4
(Boca Chica Boulevard), adjacent to the
village of Boca Chica. The site is in a
sparsely populated coastal area on the
Gulf of Mexico, approximately 3 miles
north of the U.S./Mexico border, 17
miles east-northeast of the Brownsville/
South Padre Island International
Airport, and 5 miles south of South
Padre Island.
Proposed launch operations would
consist of up to 12 commercial launch
operations per year, including launches
of the Falcon 9, a maximum of two
Falcon Heavy launches, and/or
associated mission rehearsals and static
fire engine tests, through 2025.
Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches
would have commercial payloads,
including satellites or experimental
payloads, and may carry a capsule, such
as the SpaceX Dragon capsule. The
Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy use liquid
fuels including liquid oxygen and rocket
propellant-1. Within the 12 launch
operations per year, SpaceX may elect to
have permitted launches of smaller
reusable suborbital launch vehicles from
this proposed site. A reusable suborbital
launch vehicle could consist of a Falcon
9 Stage 1 tank. All launch trajectories
would be to the east over the Gulf of
Mexico. The majority of launches would
be conducted between the hours of 7:00
a.m. and 7:00 p.m. However, there could
be one nighttime launch per year.
In addition, the Proposed Action
includes construction of facilities
needed to support launch activities at
the proposed launch site. SpaceX would
construct a vertical launch area and a
control center area. The control center
area would be approximately 2 miles
west of the vertical launch area and
could consist of up to three parcels. All
facilities would be constructed through
private funding, on currently
undeveloped, privately-owned property
