Abstract:The Department of Transportation (DOT) is authorized to regulate and license
U.S. commercial launch activities. Within DOT, the Secretary's authority has
been delegated to the Office of Commercial Space Transportation (OCST). OCST
is responsible for the preparation of National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) documentation, including Environmental Assessments (EAs) and
Environmental Impact Statements (EISs), and ultimately for licensing the
operation of commercial space launch sites. This Guide is intended to aid
applicants for launch site operator licenses in understanding OCST's policies
and procedures for compliance with NEPA requirements by providing information
on the NEPA process, the types of NEPA documents, related environmental
statutes that bear on the NEPA process, and the importance of coordinating the
NEPA process with the development process for programs and projects. This
guidance summarizes the requirements for NEPA environmental documentation,
including Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements.
