To obtain a launch site operator license, applicants must follow the process described in 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 420, License to Operate a Launch Site. Before making a license determination, the FAA will conduct extensive environmental, policy, location and safety reviews. The environmental review portion of the license application analyzes potential environmental impacts that could result from the construction and operation of a launch site. The policy review determines whether potential exists to affect U.S. national security, foreign policy interests, or international obligations. For the launch site location review, the applicant must demonstrate that at least one type of the proposed expendable or reusable launch vehicles can be safely flown from the launch site. In the safety review, the applicant must demonstrate an understanding of potential launch site hazards and provide operational plans to safely support launch site operations. As part of the permitting process, Input will be sought from each community where the proposed facilities will be located.
