Notice To Rescind a Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement
AGENCY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice to Rescind a Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: A Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement was published in the Federal Register Vol. 78, No. 248,
Thursday, December 26, 2013, to advise the public that the FAA would
prepare an EIS analyzing the potential environmental impacts of the
proposed Shiloh Launch Complex. Space Florida had indicated an intent
to submit an application to the FAA to request approval to operate a
commercial space launch site, called the ``Shiloh Launch Complex'' in
Brevard and Volusia Counties, Florida, triggering the requirement to
comply with the National Environmental Policy Act. The FAA is issuing
this notice to advise the public that Space Florida is conducting
further analysis of the proposed site and the FAA will no longer
prepare an EIS for this proposed project, at this time. If Space
Florida decides to reinitiate the project, the FAA will release a new
Notice of Intent for this project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA in conjunction with the cooperating
agencies, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park
Service will no longer be preparing an EIS for the issuance of a launch
site operator license to Space Florida for the operation of the Shiloh
Launch Site at this time.
