The FAA is the lead agency. The FAA evaluated SpaceX’s proposal to land its Starship vehicle in the Indian Ocean. The proposal would require the FAA to modify SpaceX’s vehicle operator license along with potential renewals and modifications to the license within the scope of operations. SpaceX’s Proposed Action is to analyze the potential for up to a total of ten nominal operations, including up to a maximum of five overpressure events from Starship intact impact and up to a total of five reentry debris or soft water landings in the Indian Ocean, within a year of issuance of a NMFS concurrence letter. The Final Tiered EA evaluated the potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, the FAA would not modify SpaceX’s license for landing the Starship vehicles in the Indian Ocean. In this situation, as permitted under existing licenses, SpaceX could land the Starship vehicle at the VLA or downrange in the Gulf of Mexico, or Pacific Ocean (on a floating platform or expended in the Pacific Ocean).

To support this, OMB Circular A–11 Section 280 established governmentwide standards for mature customer experience organizations in government and measurement. To enable Federal programs to deliver the experience taxpayers deserve, they must undertake three general categories of activities: conduct ongoing customer research, gather and share customer feedback, and test services and digital products.
