Title: Experimental Permits for Reusable Suborbital Rockets.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on April 17, 2023, (88 FR 23491). There were no comments.
14 CFR part 437 established requirements for the FAA's authority to
issue experimental permits for reusable suborbital rockets to authorize
launches for the purpose of research and development, crew training and
showing compliance with the regulations. The information collected
includes data required for performing a safety review, which includes a
technical assessment to determine if the applicant can launch a
reusable suborbital rocket without jeopardizing public health and
safety and the safety of property. This information collection
requirement is intended for incorporating acquired data into the
experimental permit, which then becomes binding on the launch or
reentry operator. The applicant is required to submit information that
enables FAA to determine, before issuing a permit, if issuance of the
experimental permit would jeopardize the foreign policy or national
security interests of the U.S.
Respondents: Approximately 10 applicants for experimental permits.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 18.6 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,567 hours per year.
Issued in Washington, DC.
James A. Hatt,
Space Policy Division Manager, Office of Commercial Space
Transportation.
