The FAA will hold a virtual public
meeting on December 2, 2020 from 5:00

Space Florida will provide information
on their proposed project, FAA will
provide a licensing and PEA overview

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
is the lead agency. The National
Aeronautics and Space Administration,
U.S. Space Force, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, and the National Park Service
are cooperating agencies for the
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment (PEA) due to their special
expertise and jurisdictions.
The FAA has prepared the Draft PEA
in accordance with NEPA (42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq.), the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations for
Implementing the Procedural Provisions
of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and
FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures, as
part of its licensing process. Concurrent
with the NEPA process and to
determine the potential effects of the
Proposed Action on historic and
cultural properties, the FAA has
initiated Section 106 Consultation with
the Florida State Historic Preservation
Office and the following Native
American tribes: The Catawba Indian
Nation, the Chitimacha Tribe of
Louisiana, the Coushatta Tribe of
Louisiana, the Eastern Band of Cherokee
Indians, the Jena Band of Choctaw
Indians, the Miccosukee Tribe of

Indians of Florida, the Muscogee (Creek)
Nation, the Poarch Band of Creek
Indians, and the Seminole Tribe of
Florida.
The FAA has prepared the Draft PEA
to evaluate the potential environmental
impacts of Space Florida’s proposal to
operate a reentry location for
horizontally landed reentry vehicles at
the SLF located at the Cape Canaveral
Spaceport, which includes the Kennedy
Space Center and the Cape Canaveral
Air Force Station. The Draft PEA
considers the potential environmental
impacts of the Proposed Action and the
No Action Alternative. A programmatic
document is a type of general, broad
NEPA review from which subsequent
NEPA documents can be tiered,
focusing on the issues specific to the
subsequent action (40 CFR 1502.20). If
a commercial space operator applies to
the FAA for a reentry license to conduct
reentry operations at the SLF, a separate
environmental document, tiering off the
PEA, would be developed to support the
issuance of a reentry license to the
prospective reentry operator. The tiered
environmental document would be a
more detailed analysis based on vehicle
specific operations.
An electronic version of the Draft PEA
is available on the FAA Office of
Commercial Space Transportation
website at: https://www.faa.gov/space/
environmental/nepa_docs/slf_ea/.
The FAA encourages all interested
agencies, organizations, Native
American tribes, and members of the
public to submit comments on the
analysis presented in the Draft PEA by
December 7, 2020. Comments should be
as specific as possible and address the
analysis of potential environmental
impacts. Reviewers should organize
their participation, so it is meaningful
and makes the agency aware of the
viewer’s interests and concerns using
quotations and other specific references
to the text of the Draft PEA and related
documents. Matters that could have
been raised with specificity during the
comment period on the Draft PEA may
not be considered if they are raised for
the first time later in the decision
process. This comment procedure is
intended to ensure that substantive
comments and concerns are made
available to the FAA in a timely manner
so that the FAA has an opportunity to
address them.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, be advised that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
