Recommendation #1 (SAME AS MAY 2012) –FAA/AST continue to play this facilitation role and keep COMSTAC informed of key issues and any key actions needed. Recommendation #2: –This subject move to the newly re-named COMSTAC “international” working group, especially as it is maturing beyond the OWG OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Commercial Space Launch Cooperation (CSLC) at Federal Ranges Update by Maj Justin Sutherland, USAF, Chief Space Support Branch, Space Operations Division FY13 NDAA adds “Commercial Space Launch Cooperation” to “U.S.C. Title 10 Armed Forces” –Gives authority to accept non-federal contributions in support of DoD space transportation infrastructure –Contributions may include funds, services, equipment and requests for range support and services in DoD contractual requirements –Language requires congressional appropriation –Authorities under this provision currently reside at SECDEF level –Air Force is working implementation plan with OSD OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Finding & Recommendations: Commercial Space Launch Cooperation (CSLC) Finding –It remains useful for COMSTAC and FAA/AST to remain appraised of this issue. –COMSTAC is concerned that the implementation process has many challenges that are not being considered. Recommendation #1 –FAA/AST continue to play a role in facilitating dialogue between the Air Force and industry on this issue –FAA/AST, as a federal range stakeholder, engage with the Air Force on how to implement the CSLC OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Finding and Recommendations (cont’d): Commercial Space Launch Cooperation (CSLC) Recommendation #2 –FAA/AST submit the following questions on behalf of COMSTAC to the Air Force: 1.Will all improvements have to made be available to all users, or will there be accommodation for proprietary improvements; if the latter, how will this be implemented 2.How will the account be administered to ensure the private funds are spent in the way the contributor intended 3.Can the funds be used to sustain or increase the operational tempo at the range, such as to compensate for the effects of sequestration 4.What is the involvement of other federal range stakeholders, such as FAA/AST and NASA, in the Air Force Working Group on the implementation of CSLC OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Air Force Capability-Based Assessment of Launch Ranges (NEW TOPIC) Update by Maj Jennifer Biesel, Space Force Enhancement, AF/A5RS AFSPC examining requirements at federal launch ranges for opportunities to decrease cost and maintain same risk levels –Part 1 identifies opportunities to right-size the range –Part 2 in-depth analysis underway by The Aerospace Corp to examine more material options, including input from commercial space launch industry Part 2 – industry inputs to survey due by end of June to Jim Vedda at Aerospace: –Copy of Survey will be posted on COMSTAC website OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Finding & Recommendation: Commercial Space Launch Cooperation (CSLC) Finding –FAA/AST role in facilitating industry engagement with the Air Force is useful and appreciated. –Receiving a copy of the Part 1 study results outlining the options under consideration to “right-size” the range would be very useful in shaping industry inputs to the questionnaire. –Government launch and range stakeholders, such as FAA/AST and NASA, should also have an opportunity to review the list and provide input to the Part 2 analysis. Recommendation –FAA/AST request the Air Force provide COMSTAC, the FAA/AST, and NASA a copy of the Part 1 results as soon as possible. –FAA/AST engage with the Air Force on this topic and provide input to the Air Force on the Part 1 results. OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Operations Licensing Open discussion on updates to “Operations Licensing” Two FCC activities of interest to commercial launch sector –Small satellites: FCC licensing of spectrum for use by non-Federal small satellites, including satellites that fall within the categories of pico-satellites, nano-satellites and cubesats –Launch spectrum allocation Public notice for Small Satellites available at: small-satellites small-satellites Notice of Proposed Rule-Making (FCC 13-65) on temporary use of spectrum during commercial space launches launch-allocationshttp:// launch-allocations OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Finding & Recommendation: Operations Licensing Finding –FAA/AST plays an important role in keeping industry stakeholders, through COMSTAC, aware of and engaged with the diverse policy and regulatory developments across the federal government that may affect commercial space. This role should continue. Recommendation –FAA/AST, in its role to encourage and promote, coordinate closely with the FCC and other federal agencies on regulatory issues of interest to commercial space, such as the activities underway at the FCC on small satellites and launch phase spectrum allocation. OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Commercial Space Launch Act (CSLA) Reauthorization Discussion – STIM Grants OWG discussed the following proposal: The Department of Transportation’s Space Transportation Infrastructure Matching Grants (or “STIM-Grants”) program was authorized in 1992 to provide Federal matching funds for space-related infrastructure development. In recent years, it has been used by many licensed or proposed spaceports, in conjunction with state and local government and private funds, to help build infrastructure the commercial spaceflight industry needs to operate safely and efficiently. This infrastructure benefits not just the spaceport at issue, but every one of their customers, and the industry as a whole. However, the usefulness of the program has been harmed by onerous matching requirements that are out of step with other Department of Transportation infrastructure programs. The FAA’s main airport funding program, the Airport Improvement Program (AIP), requires state, local or private funds to cover only 25% of many projects, with even lower cutoffs for many cases, including rural airports. This appropriately ensures local buy- in to the project while allowing flexibility in funding and recognizing the Federal government’s role in interstate commerce. The STIM-Grants program, on the other hand, requires every project to obtain at least 50% funding from other sources, including at least 10% from private sector sources. In many cases, public spaceports are building infrastructure to attract business, and private funding is not yet available. OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Observations & Recommendations: STIM Grants Observation: –The President’s FAA/AST FY14 Budget Request does not include STIM grants. –The STIM-Grants program is a useful mechanism to encourage public private partnerships in space transportation infrastructure. To ensure that it remains useful requires appropriated funding and an appropriate matching requirement that promotes private investment. In particular, the 10% private sector threshold may be an obstacle to participation. Recommendation #1: FAA/AST pursue funding for STIM Grants in appropriations and future budget requests, and at an increased level over previous authorized amounts. Recommendation #2: Re-examine the requirements and ratio of matching funds in the context of today’s industry, with the goal to encourage increased participation and investment in space transportation infrastructure. OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Commercial Space Launch Act (CSLA) Reauthorization – License & Permit Flexibility OWG discussed the following proposal: Currently, as soon as a rocket design is licensed for spaceflight, it can no longer be flown under an experimental permit. However, there are many situations in which test flights might be necessary after a license has been granted. If the vehicle manufacturer is bringing a new vehicle of the same design into service, test flights are necessary. If design changes are made or new operating regimes desired, flight tests to prove out changes or expand the operating envelope would be necessary. Recommend the FAA and a license-holder have the flexibility to appropriately take individual vehicles back and forth between licensed flight and experimental flight, as is currently possible with aircraft. OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC, May 16, 2013

Federal Aviation Administration OWG Working Group Report to COMSTAC October 10, 2012 Observations & Recommendations: License & Permit Flexibility Observation: In 2004, experimental permits were introduced to the CSLA legislation as an innovative mechanism for new vehicles to start operations. However, the need for vehicles to move back and forth between an experimental permit and a license was not contemplated. There is some flexibility for aircraft that may serve as a useful model. Recommendation: Amend the CLSA to allow the FAA/AST and a license-holder to have the flexibility to move a space vehicle between licensed flight and experimental flight categories.
