To conduct its newly proposed operations of Starship/Super Heavy at the Boca Chica Launch Site, SpaceX must obtain an experimental permit or launch license from the FAA Office of Commercial Space Transportation. Issuing experimental permits and launch licenses is considered a major federal action under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, and requires an environmental review. NEPA sets forth the nation's environmental policy, requires federal agencies to consider and disclose the environmental impacts of their proposed actions, and encourages them to make environmentally responsible decisions. When implemented correctly, the NEPA process ensures FAA decision-makers have sufficient information about potential project impacts so they can make more informed decisions.
