Issuing agencies

Abstract

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public to make public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The information for this collection is mandatory. The collection involves information demonstrating that a launch or reentry operation involving human participants will meet the risk criteria and requirement to ensure public safety. The FAA has established requirements for human space flight crew and space flight participants as required by the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004. On December 15, 2006, the FAA published a final rule (71 FR 75616) which established requirements for crew qualifications, training and notification, and training and informed consent requirements for space flight participants. The requirements were designed to achieve public safety and to notify participants of the risks they face from launch or reentry.
