cooperating agencies for this action. The
Department of the Air Force (DAF) is
issuing this Notice of Intent (NOI) to
prepare an environmental impact
statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential
environmental impacts associated with
(1) the execution of a real property
agreement between the United States
Space Force (USSF) and Space
Exploration Technologies Corp.
(SpaceX), which would enable SpaceX
to develop a launch site to support
Starship-Super Heavy operations,
including launch and landing at Cape
Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS),

Administration’s (FAA) issuance of a
vehicle operator license at the selected

be accepted at any time during the
environmental impact analysis process;
however, to ensure the DAF has
sufficient time to consider public
scoping comments during preparation of
the Draft EIS, please submit comments
within the 30-day scoping period.
The DAF invites the public,
stakeholders, and other interested
parties to attend one or more of the
three in-person public scoping meetings

place from 4 to 7 p.m. A virtual meeting
is scheduled for March 12 at 6 p.m.
Information on how to attend the virtual
meeting is available on the project
website (SpaceForceStarshipEIS.com).
The meetings will provide an
opportunity for attendees to learn more
about the Proposed Action and
Alternatives and provide an early and
open process to assist the DAF and its
Cooperating Agencies in determining
the scope of issues for analysis in the
EIS, including identifying significant
environmental issues and eliminating
from further study non-significant
issues. Scope consists of the range of
actions, alternatives, and impacts to be
considered in the EIS. Project team
members will be available to answer
questions and there will also be an
opportunity to provide oral and written
comments. Scoping meeting materials
will be provided in English and
Spanish.
The Notice of Availability (NOA) of
the Draft EIS is anticipated in December
2024 and the NOA for the Final EIS is

decision could be made no earlier than
30 days after the Final EIS.
