Agency Information Collection Activities: Notice of Request for Reinstatement of a Previously Approved Information Collection, 40528-40529 [2024-10227]

Download as PDF 40528 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 92 / Friday, May 10, 2024 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES underway, additional infrastructure improvements at LC–39A associated with the evolved Starship-Super Heavy program to be addressed in this EIS include, but are not limited to, a SuperHeavy catch tower; onsite facilities for propellant generation and propellant storage (e.g., natural gas pretreatment system and methane liquefier); cooling tower; air separation unit; and deluge system. The potential environmental impacts of all proposed construction and operational activities, including those from launch and landing, will be analyzed in the EIS. The EIS will evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with air quality; biological resources (including fish, wildlife, and plants); climate; coastal resources; Department of Transportation Act, Section 4(f); farmlands; hazardous materials, solid waste, and pollution prevention; historical, architectural, archeological and cultural resources; land use; natural resources and energy supply; noise and noise-compatible land use; socioeconomics, environmental justice, and children’s health and safety risks; visual effects; and water resources (including wetlands, floodplains, surface waters, groundwater, and wild and scenic rivers). This analysis will consist of an evaluation of potential direct and indirect impacts and will account for cumulative impacts from other relevant activities in the vicinity of the action. Concurrent with the NEPA process, the FAA is initiating National Historic Preservation Act section 106 Consultation to determine the potential effects of the Proposed Action on historic properties. Additionally, the FAA is consulting with the USFWS under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) regarding potential impacts on federally listed threatened and endangered species. The FAA is also consulting with the National Marine Fisheries Service under section 7 of the ESA and the Marine Mammal Protection Act for potential impacts on protected marine species. Pursuant to the U.S. Department of Transportation Act of 1966, this EIS will comply with the requirements of section 4(f) of the Act, as applicable. Alternatives The Council on Environmental Quality defines ‘‘reasonable alternatives’’ as those ‘‘that are technically and economically feasible and meet the purpose and need for the proposed action.’’ (40 CFR 1508.1(z)). Through an alternative screening process based on Starship-Super Heavy requirements and the purpose and need, VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:15 May 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 the 2019 EA established LC–39A as the approved location for Starship-Super Heavy operations, and infrastructure development based on NASA’s 2019 FONSI is already underway. LC–39A could provide time-critical mission capability to NASA and commercial pursuits via the Starship-Super Heavy. In addition to existing launch infrastructure, LC–39A could provide launch site diversity for Starship-Super Heavy to meet the purpose and need for near-term lunar exploration under the NASA Artemis and HLS programs. Given the above, the only alternative to the Proposed Action as described in this EIS is the No Action Alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, FAA would not issue a Vehicle Operator License for Starship-Super Heavy operations at LC–39A. SpaceX would not implement further improvements or launch Starship-Super Heavy from LC– 39A. Potential impacts associated with the No Action Alternative will be analyzed in this EIS. Scoping Meetings FAA will hold three IN-PERSON scoping meetings and one VIRTUAL public scoping meeting. The meetings will allow the public to receive information on the Proposed Action, meet lead and cooperating agency representatives, and provide comments to the record. The IN-PERSON meetings will be held on June 12, 2024, and June 13, 2024. The June 12, 2024, meetings will be held from 2 p.m.–4 p.m. and 6 p.m.– 8 p.m. (Eastern) at the Radisson Cape Canaveral, 8701 Astronaut Blvd., Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920. The June 13, 2024, meeting will be held from 6 p.m.– 8 p.m. (Eastern) at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Space Commerce Way, Merritt Island, Florida 32953. All meetings will consist of an open house information-station format wherein the FAA will provide information describing the purpose of the scoping meetings, project schedule, opportunities for public involvement, Proposed Action and alternatives summary, and environmental resource area summary. Fact sheets will be made available containing similar information. At any time during the meetings, the public will have the opportunity to provide verbal comments to a court reporter or written comments via a written comment form at one of several commenting stations. EnglishSpanish translation services will be provided at the in-person meetings. The VIRTUAL meeting will be held on June 17, 2024; 6 p.m.–8 p.m. (Eastern); the URL and call-in number for the meeting will be provided in PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 advance on the FAA’s project website https://www.faa.gov/space/stakeholder_ engagement/spacex_starship_ksc. The virtual meeting will consist of a closedcaptioned auto-run presentation describing the purpose of the scoping meetings, project schedule, opportunities for public involvement, Proposed Action and alternatives summary, and environmental resource area summary. Presentations will be run at the beginning of each hour. Members of the public may provide written comments via the chat function during the presentation and for the remainder of each hour. Verbal comments up to three minutes can be given after the completion of each presentation. A moderator will facilitate verbal comments. English-Spanish translation services for verbal comments will be provided. Both English and Spanish versions of the presentation will be made available to the public on FAA’s project website. More information regarding the scoping meetings, along with any published scoping materials, is available on FAA’s project website at https:// www.faa.gov/space/stakeholder_ engagement/spacex_starship_ksc.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition; grant of exemption. AGENCY: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announces its decision to grant Gemini Motor Transport LP’s, USDOT No. 913300, (Gemini) application for an exemption to allow it to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) equipped with a module manufactured by Intellistop, Inc. (Intellistop). The Intellistop module is designed to pulse the required rear clearance, identification, and brake lamps from a lower-level lighting intensity to a higher-level lighting intensity 4 times in 2 seconds when the brakes are applied SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 40529 and then return the lights to a steadyburning state while the brakes remain engaged. The Agency has determined that granting the exemption to Gemini, an individual, easily identifiable motor carrier operating a finite number of CMVs, would likely achieve a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety achieved by the regulation. This exemption is effective May 10, 2024 and ending May 12, 2029.
