parameters fall outside those analyzed
in the EA, the FAA would re-evaluate
the potential impacts and, if necessary,
prepare additional NEPA analysis.
The Final EA addresses the potential
environmental impacts of Space
Florida’s proposal to construct and
operate the SLF as a launch location for
horizontally launched and landed
rockets. The Final EA considers the
potential environmental impacts of the
Proposed Action and the No Action
Alternative. The successful completion
of the environmental review process
does not guarantee that the FAA Office
of Commercial Space Transportation
would issue a Launch Site Operator
License to Space Florida. The project
must also meet all FAA requirements of
a Launch Site Operator License.
Individual launch operators proposing
to launch from the site would be
required to obtain a separate launch
operator license.
An electronic version of the Final EA
and FONSI/ROD is available on the

Agency (EPA) Region 9 or United States

respond to, and recover from a threat to

potential oil and hazardous materials
incidents resulting from the California
Wildfires. This Waiver Order is effective

In
accordance with the provisions of 49
U.S.C. 5103(c), the Administrator for the
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), hereby
declares that an emergency exists that
warrants issuance of a Waiver of the
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR,
49 CFR parts 171–180) to persons
conducting operations under the
direction of EPA Region 9 or USCG
Eleventh District within the California
Wildfire emergency area. The Waiver is
granted to support the EPA and USCG
in taking appropriate actions to prepare
for, respond to, and recover from a
threat to public health, welfare, or the
environment caused by actual or
potential oil and hazardous materials
incidents resulting from the California
Wildfires.
On November 9, 2018, the President
issued an Emergency Declaration for the
California Wildfires for the counties of
Butte, Los Angeles, and Ventura (EM–
3409). The President declared a major
disaster in California on November 12,
2018 (DR–4407).
This Waiver Order covers all areas
identified in the declarations, as
amended. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5103(c),
PHMSA has authority delegated by the
Secretary (49 CFR 1.97(b)(3)) to waive
compliance with any part of the HMR
provided that the grant of the waiver is:
(1) In the public interest; (2) not
inconsistent with the safety of
transporting hazardous materials; and
(3) necessary to facilitate the safe
movement of hazardous materials into,
from, and within an area of a major
disaster or emergency that has been
declared under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.).
Given the continuing impacts caused
by the California Wildfires, PHMSA’s
Administrator has determined that
regulatory relief is in the public interest
and necessary to ensure the safe
transportation in commerce of
hazardous materials while the EPA and
USCG execute their recovery and
cleanup efforts in California.
Specifically, PHMSA’s Administrator
finds that issuing this Waiver Order will
allow the EPA and USCG to conduct
their Emergency Support Function #10
response activities under the National
Response Framework to safely remove,
transport, and dispose of hazardous
materials. By execution of this Waiver
