availability of a FONSI, based on the
analysis and findings of the U.S. Air

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The FAA
participated as a cooperating agency
with the USAF in the preparation of the
EA, which evaluated the potential
environmental impacts of SpaceX
conducting vertical landings of a Falcon
launch vehicle first stage at LC–1 at
CCAFS, as well as related construction.
Landings could include a Falcon 9 first
stage or a single core of a Falcon Heavy
first stage. The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration also
participated as a cooperating agency in
the preparation of the EA.
As the Proposed Action would require
Federal actions (as defined in 40 CFR
1508.18) involving the USAF and the
FAA, the EA was prepared to satisfy the
NEPA obligations of both agencies. The
USAF issued a FONSI on January 8,
2015, which stated that the potential
environmental impacts associated with
the Proposed Action would not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant impact on the quality of the
human environment, and therefore the
preparation of an environmental impact
statement (EIS) was not required. The
FAA has formally adopted the EA and
also issued a FONSI to support the
issuance of new launch licenses or
modify existing launch licenses to allow
SpaceX to conduct Falcon landings at
LC–1.
The Proposed Action analyzed in the
EA consists of SpaceX conducting
Falcon landings at LC–1 and
construction activities, including land
clearing, construction of landing pads,
and supporting infrastructure
modifications at LC–1. SpaceX
anticipates no more than 12 landings
per year (one per month). Operations at
LC–1 would also include post-flight
landing and safing activities. The FAA’s
Proposed Action is to issue new launch
licenses or modify existing launch
licenses to allow SpaceX to conduct
vertical landings of a Falcon launch
vehicle first stage at CCAFS.
Alternatives analyzed as part of the
FONSI include the Proposed Action and
the No Action Alternative. Under the No
Action Alternative, the FAA would not
issue or modify launch licenses to allow
SpaceX to conduct Falcon landings at
CCAFS. The Falcon first stage would
continue to land in the Atlantic Ocean.

Based on its independent review and
consideration, the FAA issued a FONSI
concurring with the analysis of impacts
and findings in the EA and formally
adopting the EA to support issuing new
launch licenses or modifying existing
launch licenses to allow SpaceX to
conduct vertical landings of a Falcon
launch vehicle first stage at CCAFS.
After reviewing and analyzing available
data and information on existing
conditions, potential impacts, and
measures to mitigate those impacts, the
FAA has determined that issuing or
modifying launch licenses to allow
SpaceX to conduct vertical landings of
a Falcon launch vehicle first stage at
CCAFS is a Federal action that would
not significantly affect the quality of the
human environment within the meaning
of NEPA. Therefore, the preparation of
an EIS is not required, and the FAA has
issued a FONSI. The FAA made this
determination in accordance with all
applicable environmental laws and FAA
regulations.
The FAA has posted the EA and
FONSI on the internet at https://

1 In that docket, on November 3, 2015, Union
Pacific Railroad Company (UP) filed a Verified
Notice of Exemption under the Board’s class
exemption procedures at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). The
notice addressed an agreement between UP and the
BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) that is intended to
grant UP overhead temporary trackage rights until
December 31, 2018, to operate between milepost
579.3 near Mill Creek, Okla., on BNSF’s Creek
Subdivision and milepost 631.0 near Joe Junction,
Tex., on BNSF’s Madill Subdivision, a distance of
approximately 51.7 miles. UP stated that because
the temporary trackage rights are longer than a year
in duration, the Board’s class exemption for
temporary trackage rights under 49 CFR
1180.2(d)(8) does not apply. Instead, UP
concurrently filed a Petition for Partial Revocation
in this sub-docket. Notice of exemption was served
and published in the Federal Register on November
19, 2015 (80 FR 72,486). That notice indicated that
the Board would address the Petition for Partial
Revocation in a separate decision, which it is doing
here and in the Board’s decision served today in
this sub-docket.
